The British Museum owns about 25,000 lithographs made in the 19th century. At present, about 16,000 of these have been digitized and can be viewed remotely. The originals live inside folders inside boxes inside vaults. Only a few are occasionally displayed in public spaces. But even their digital shadows (as here) repay whatever scrutiny they receive.
