A Collection of Engraved Portraits (further Selection) Exhibited presents a curated compilation of engraved portraits, offering a glimpse into the artistry and historical context of 19th-century printmaking. This second selection, meticulously assembled by the Guildhall Library, showcases a range of subjects and styles, reflecting the period's fascination with portraiture as both an art form and a means of documenting prominent individuals.
Featuring contributions from figures such as Gordon Goodwin and James Anderson Rose, this volume provides a valuable resource for art historians, collectors, and anyone interested in the intersection of art, history, and biography. The engraved portraits offer insights into the lives and legacies of the individuals depicted, while also highlighting the technical skill and artistic sensibilities of the engravers themselves.
