Nautiloids, c.1880.
Watercolour on paper, 560 x 768 mm.
During the Victorian and Edwardian periods, lecturers often
used large-scale drawings to illustrate their public or academic
talks. Mounted on large sheets of paper, such drawings were
designed to be viewed in a lecture hall at a considerable
distance.
The lecture drawings by Alice Woodward are excellent examples
of these early 'visual aids'which played an important role
helping to educate students and interested amateurs in the
science of natural history.
