Exhibition of the Royal House of Guelph
A catalogue of the 1891 New Gallery exhibition of portraits of the Hanoverian royal family, published in London by Herbert Appold Grueber and the New Gallery. The sepia plates reproduce Gainsborough-era portraits of courtiers and royals, with captions naming sitters such as Mrs Fitzherbert and Anne Luttrell, Duchess of Cumberland. A designer could take their soft oval vignettes, powdered wigs and pale silk dress as period reference for 18th-century formal portraiture.
