Scope and Content

One box, containing photographs of drawings to accompany 'The Reeve's Tale', by Geoffrey Chaucer. There are 27 different illustrations, including the title and end pages, and two extracts from the original text. Four of the photographs are labelled, with plate numbers and titles. The plate numbers, and comparison with TGA 20034/2/2/130, suggest that this is not a complete set of illustrations.

The majority of the illustrations duplicate those found in TGA 20034/2/2/130. However, there are six illustrations included here that are not found in TGA 20034/2/2/130. These are: a different title page; two extracts from the text of 'The Reeve's Tale'; and three drawings.
