The Art journal
The Art Journal, published in London by George Virtue in 1849, was a periodical for art readers and collectors, drawing on the Getty Research Institute's copy. Its engravings reproduce buildings, classical history scenes and landscapes in black and white, with a designer taking from them the clean, dense linework of nineteenth-century steel and wood engraving, shown in a street view, a semicircular painted lunette and a loose pen-and-ink sketch of riverside willows.
