The Art journal
The Art Journal, published in London by George Virtue in 1849, was a periodical for art lovers and collectors that reproduced sculpture, architecture and decorative objects as engravings. Its plates are crisp black-and-white line engravings of candelabra, carved figures, a Gothic portal and an Etruscan tomb effigy, useful to designers for classical and medieval ornament, figure poses and draped stone forms.
