Picture Library

The Picture Library offers a number of services.Whether you are a commercial picture user and want to reproduce a BMAG image or if you are an individual requesting a one-off copy for reference, study or to hang on your wall, our staff can help.

We have an online Prints Service where you can purchase quality prints, framed prints and canvases.

Many images of objects can be found online, but by no means all. Please don't hesitate to contact us to find out if we have what you are looking for.

If we do not currently have an image of a particular object then it may be possible for us to arrange to have a high quality photograph taken.

Please also contact us if you have a question about copyright.

Pretty Baa-Lambs by Ford Madox Brown

Online Images

Many of the 'stars' of BMAG's collections can be found on the Prints Service website. This is the only one of our websites where you can order prints, framed prints and canvases online.

You can also browse for a particular image, artist or collection at BMAGiC Collections online. This contains a wide variety of objects, but does not have all our Pre-Raphaelite images. These can be found on the Pre-Raphaelite website:

The Pre-Raphaelite Online Resource has over 2,000 images and we are continuing to add more. We have the largest public collection of Pre-Raphaelite art - and the largest online collection too!
