A look at old prints

The British Museum is more than 250 years old and one of the most famous museums in the world. Earlier this year it allowed television cameras to go behind the scenes for a series for BBC2 called “The Museum”. Now they’ve also allowed Woman’s Hour access. Sheila O'Connell is the Curator of British Prints at The Museum and recently she talked to Louise Adamson about a special print from the middle of the Eighteenth Century.
