The artists profiled here include many contemporary working artists as well as historically established masters, among them Turner, David Roberts, Ruskin, Whistler, Cruikshank, Daubigny, Durer, Rembrandt, and Goya. The plates include examples mainly from the English, French, and Dutch schools--including, notably, an etching printed from an original copper plate by Rembrandt. Philip Gilbert Hamerton (1834-94) was an artist and critic who worked for a number of periodicals, including the "Fine Arts Quarterly Review," "Macmillan's" magazine, "Atlantic Monthly," and the "Saturday Review" (succeeding Francis Turner Palgrave). Hamerton started his own publication, "The Portfolio," in 1869, which DNB calls "an innovative publication in terms of the many different forms of reproduction it employed, including etching on India paper and autotype photography." Through this publication, "Hamerton was thus responsible for an important diffusion of graphic art forms in England during the last three decades of the nineteenth century." The present copy is especially attractive in its lovely Zaehnsdorf binding, and makes an excellent impression on the shelf.
