Ethnographic Arms & Armour - View Single Post - The Wallace Collection: New Catalog and USB Drive

Matchlock · 27th June 2012, 01:11 PM

The new catalog by Tobias Capwell, illustrating 70 selected highlights from the collection, is availbale separately (GBP 30) or together with an additional USB drive containing images of all objects and texts since 1909 (GBP 175).

Their database provides a comprehensive search option; unfortunately I found color images of varying quality, mostly rather poor, out of focus and of low resolution. In some cases only a close-up detail of an object is illustrated.

A few samples atached.

I do hope these are not the same photos used on the USB drive.

Has anyone seen this USB drive and can report on its quality?

Best,
Michael
