The portfolio : an artistic periodical
The Portfolio was an London art periodical published by Seeley, Jackson and Halliday in 1870, with etchings and engravings by artists including Whistler, for an art-minded readership. The pictures show Gothic cathedral interiors and exteriors in fine line, alongside a page of text and a tomb monument with a recumbent effigy; a designer might take from them the precision of hatched architectural linework and the dense detail of Gothic tracery.
