Anecdotes of painting in England : with some account of the principal artists
Anecdotes of Painting in England is a 1826 London art history compiled from Horace Walpole, James Dallaway, George Vertue and Ralph Wornum, aimed at readers interested in English painters and their lives. Its pictures are engraved portraits of artists, mostly half-length and head-and-shoulders, in fine line hatching that a designer could study for period dress, lace collars, and cross-hatched tonal modelling.
