The Art journal
The Art Journal, published in London by George Virtue in 1849, was a periodical for an audience interested in the fine arts, presenting engravings after paintings, sculpture and architecture. Its plates range from a costumed couple under a tree to a classical sculpture group, a Greek temple ruin, and a biblical scene of men building the Ark with tools and rigging, offering a designer varied figure studies, drapery, and architectural line work.
