A personal memoir by Antony Griffiths
Between 1983 and 1987, as part of a cultural agreement between the UK and Czechoslovakia, the speaker, then a junior member of the British Museum staff, was instructed to organise a joint exhibition of the work of Václav/Wenceslaus Hollar to be shown in London and Prague. This led to other exhibitions and collaborations which were often bizarre but always a great pleasure.
Antony Griffiths, art historian, is the former Keeper of the Department of Prints and Drawings, British Museum, and Slade Professor of Fine Art at University of Oxford.
