Bukhara, Irkutsk and Tallinn, New Guinea communities and African rivers show the extraordinary reach of prints by Henri-Théophile Hildibrand (1824–1897), a French wood engraver who translated other artists' designs into published images. The prints here date from 1872 to 1893 and cover cities, landscapes, clothing, domestic life and natural history from across the world, including Japanese islands, Rome, the Menai Strait and Alpine and Pyrenean settings. Illustrations to Dante add a literary strand.
