Portraits of illustrious personages of Great Britain is a London gallery of engraved portraits published by Harding and Lepard in 1835, with biographical memoirs by Edmund Lodge and engraving by T. A. Dean, Thomas Wright and Charles Picart, made for a readership interested in the nobility and national history. The pictures are steel-engraved half-length and three-quarter portraits of seventeenth-century men in lace collars, dark doublets, armour and plumed hats, set against plain or curtained grounds, with a designer able to draw on their tonal modelling, costume detail and formal poses.
