The Art journal
The Art Journal is a London periodical of 1849 published by George Virtue, aimed at art lovers and collectors, and it reproduces paintings and architecture as engraved plates. The pictures are monochrome halftone reproductions: a formal classical doorway with a pedimented arch, a wide flat landscape under broad clouds, a figure pair at a stone well among trees, and two small riverside landscapes with trees and cottages, offering designers studies in tonal depth, horizon composition and foliage silhouettes.
