With preface by Hallie Rubenhold. [210 x 170 x 11 mm]. 142 pp. A catalogue of 64 mezzotints exhibited at No. 1 Royal Crescent, Bath between Friday 16 May - Sunday 14 December 2014. "Once committed to paper, a woman's portrait could be used by anyone for any purpose. It could be bought or sold, displayed, defaced, derided or adored. It entered the public domain - much like an actress or a fallen woman. As women were for possessing, so too were their images".
