ABSTRACT The Baillieu Library of the University of Melbourne hosts one of the finest old masters’ print collections in Australia, the equivalent of a state institution or national gallery. Begun with a donation made in 1959 by Dr Orde Poynton, it was enriched in the early sixties thanks to bequests and acquisitions orchestrated by Joseph Burke, Melbourne’s first Herald Chair of Fine Arts, and enhanced by the participation of key figures in the Australian art world. Prompted by new archival discoveries, this paper retraces how the print collection was created, highlighting the acquisitions made in the period 1960–1966. The paper highlights the collection’s teaching function and emphasises how its development was supported by an extraordinary synergy between art historians and local philanthropists.

Antipodean版画：Joseph Burke和墨尔本大学版画收藏的发展

摘要墨尔本大学的Baillieu图书馆收藏着澳大利亚最好的老大师作品之一，相当于一个州机构或国家美术馆。由Orde Poynton博士于1959年捐赠开始，到60年代初，由于墨尔本首位先驱美术主席约瑟夫·伯克（Joseph Burke）精心策划的遗赠和收购，使其变得更加丰富，并由于关键人物的参与而得到了加强。在新的档案发现的推动下，本文回顾了版画收藏的创建方式，重点介绍了1960年至1966年间的印刷品。该论文重点介绍了该收藏的教学功能，并强调了艺术史学家和当地慈善家之间非凡的协同作用如何支持其发展。
