Dr Robert Wilson, surgeon and traveller, portfolio of original paintings, drawings and prints The portfolio contains a mixture of prints and original paintings and drawings. Most of the prints have evidently been collected by Wilson on his European travels and depict famous and important buildings, views of towns and scenic areas, and the like, together with portrait prints of Napoleon, Pope Pius VII and others, and a few reproductions of famous paintings. The original paintings and drawings have mainly been acquired by, or made by or for, Wilson on his travels in the East, although they also include some tourist scenes from Europe. There is an important group of original surveyor's drawings of excavations of Classical buildings in Sicily from the early 19th century, as well as views of Egyptian, Greek and Indian temples, Roman antiquities in Tunisia, and a watercolour painting of the annual festival at the Jagannath Temple in Puri, Orissa in June 1822. 19th century
