The exhibition at the Radnor
Museum in Llandrindod Wells during June and July was held to
mark the bi-centenary of Sandby's death. The Museum's exhibition room
is the ideal place for showing pictures, spacious, airy and well lighted.
There were nearly 100 framed prints shown on the walls and some illustrated
books in a showcase, all of them original prints from Sarah's private
collection.
