NOTE: Due to the current high interest in Mrs.
Delany, the Department of Prints and Drawings in
the British Museum has taken the decision to limit
most visitors wishing to see her works to one box
per visit (usually about 20 works). This is
because they are extremely fragile, and are
beginning to be damaged by visitors not lifting
each work clear of the one underneath and scoring
the surface with the mount corners. Please note
that two examples of her work are always on
display in the Enlightenment Gallery (Room 1; in
the wall cases near case 1). Researchers working
on a project who need to see more than one box
should contact the student room in advance of
their visit by emailing
the British Museum's Department of Prints and
Drawings.
