Anecdotes of painting in England : with some account of the principal artists and incidental notes on other arts
Anecdotes of Painting in England is a 1765 art-historical book by Horace Walpole, with notes drawn from George Vertue, printed at Walpole's Strawberry Hill press for readers interested in English painters. Its pictures are engraved oval and framed portrait heads of artists, mostly in plain line work with dark shading, shown with cartouche lettering and small secondary medallions a designer could use for period portrait frames and typographic labels.
