Description: | The National Art Library's holdings include items on the history of the theatre arts, and on design in general. The Library also contains collections on literature donated in the 19th century by Alexander Dyce and John Forster. These include works by many English dramatists of the 16th and 17th centuries, plus 40 volumes of correspondence by David Garrick. Other collections of relevance include: the Piot Collection of books on 17th, 18th and 19th century spectacle; the Osbert Lancaster Collection of comic art and humour; and the Larionov Collection of works by Mikhail Larionov and Natalia Goncharova for theatre and opera in Europe (especially Russia and France).; The Computer Catalogue is available at http://catalogue.nal.vam.ac.uk. This contains entries for all material acquired since 1987, plus a large proportion of earlier acquisitions. The remaining older catalogues, including those for the Forster and Dyce Collections, are currently being converted. The Computer Catalogue also includes some entries from material held by the Theatre Museum, a branch of the V&A.
