The Royal Collection of Paintings and Watercolours

The Royal Library at Windsor Castle contains one of the world's finest collections of Old Master Drawings, including the largest group of drawings by Leonardo da Vinci. The most important have been catalogued in a series of publications by the Phaidon Press over the past forty five years, but very few of the drawings were illustrated in these volumes. The micropublication reproduces every work in each catalogue, and each is available separately. The drawings are filmed in catalogue order, and each microfilm should be used together with the appropriate catalogue. .
