The Drawn Sword: engravings and woodcuts from the MacBean Stuart
and Jacobite Collection
http://george.qmlib.abdn.ac.uk/macbean.html

Created and maintained by the University of Aberdeen Historic
Collections, this site offers access to images of 1,278 loose
engravings and woodcuts that form part of the MacBean Stuart and
Jacobite Collection. In addition to the images, the collection
contains approximately 3,500 books and 1,000 pamphlets which "cover
every aspect of the Jacobite rebellions, the causes and effects, and
the personalities, royal, national and local." Users have two options
for retrieving images: a keyword search or simple browse. Since the
latter is simply a list of captions for all 1278 images and is not
divided into any categories, users will probably find the keyword
search more efficient. Each image is accompanied by a caption
"detailing the subject and where known the artist, engraver and
printer." [MD]
