A dictionary of painters and handbook for picture amateurs : including an explanation of the various methods of painting; instructions for cleaning, re-lining, and restoring oil paintings; a glossary of terms; an historical sketch of the principal schools of painting; with notes on the copyists and imitators of each master
A dictionary of painters and handbook for picture amateurs, written by Philippe Daryl and published in London by Crosby Lockwood in 1891, aimed at collectors and lay readers who wanted practical guidance on painting methods, restoration and the schools of art. The four pictures are small printer's devices: a flaming torch held by a gloved hand with the motto Capio Lumen, a circular classical relief captioned Series, and a laurel-wreath seal reading 1862 Londini Honoris Causa, which a designer could borrow for emblem or monogram work.
