The Courtald Institute of Art, via Art and Architecture, has made 40,00 images, and much else besides, available online. One more reason to love the web.
this is great--it's even helping my indigestion : >

The "10 Buildings Which No Longer Exist" image set is haunting. I would love to have seen Park Hall.
Thanks Fat Buddha

I loved that place when I visited it...a stunning museum. Saw the immense Cubism exhibit that blew my mind in 83 -- I was a much younger, very impressionable man and Juan Gris was on my mind long after leaving London.

ha. I just checked out Jane Avril Has left the Building... Fun! I love it when art sites manage to inject some humor and lightheartedness into their presentations. For anyone who's curious: Something about Jane (with links to a few more images, including this beauty); and a photo.

Very interesting site. BTW the British spy Anthony Blunt had a great influence in setting up the Courtald as a serious research institute.

Pedantico-nationalistico nitpick: Courtauld seems to suffer from the same ortographic disease as the word Portuguese, inasmuch as the second 'U' often falls off during writing. ;)
