Item description from seller

Quarter rexine and cloth with gilt vertical rule and cover-title, large 8vo, 31 cm, xvi, [various paginations- over 200 pp], chiefly colour ills, 14 pp. From the introduction - "-This reference catalogue is the most comprehensive published work that the firm has embarked upon in its long history. It has been created to provide the fine art gallery, art framer, designer and art collector with a wide choice from totally hand crafted subjects. However, the book’s use does not stop there; included is an informative paper by Joseph Winkelman describing in detail, the work of the engraver, etcher, printer and colouring artist. Additionally, an extensive artist biographical section has been included, together with a sourcing directory: designed to provide valuable assistance in the often time-consuming process of tracing and identifying subjects with specific themes. The Thomas Ross Collection is the largest of its kind in the world, containing over six thousand five hundred copper and steel intaglio plates and embracing a wide range of subjects and sizes. Inevitably, it has not been possible to illustrate or indeed refer to more than a small percentage of these subjects here. " Contents include: Foreword; A Guide to this Work; Three Centuries of Craft History; The History and Craft of Intaglio; Section: 1 Historical Portraits; 2 Military Regiments and Battles; 3 People and Portraits; 4 Legal Subjects; 5 Walter Dendy Sadler; 6 Sir Edwin Henry Landseer; 7 The Animal World; 8 Equestrian; 9 This Sporting Life; 10 Fruit and Flower Studies; 11 Maritime; 12 JMW Turner; 13 Views and Landscapes; 14 The Art of the Engraver; Biographical Dictionary of Artists; Index by Title; Index by Artist; Index by Reference Number; Sourcing Directory. Very Good.
