Anecdotes of painting in England; with some account of the principal artists by Horace Walpole. With additions by James Dallaway, and Vertue's catalogue of engravers who have been born or have resided in England.
A 1888 London reprint of Horace Walpole's history of English painting, with additions by James Dallaway, aimed at readers of art history and biography. Its pictures are small black-and-white engraved portraits of seventeenth-century English painters in full wigs and loose collars, rendered in dense hatching and fine line. A designer might take from them the crosshatched shading, flowing periwig curls, and the tight oval vignette format.
