Three generations of fascinating women : and other sketches from family history

Russell, Lady · 1904 · London, New York : Longmans, Green and Co. · 40 pictures

A 1904 London and New York family history by Lady Russell, published by Longmans, Green and Co., tracing the Gunning family's women across generations. The pictures are a mix of stipple-engraved oval portraits of late eighteenth-century women and later halftone reproductions of painted portraits with printed captions naming each sitter. A designer could draw on the soft oval vignette framing and the tonal shading of the stipple heads for period portrait layouts.

Gunning, (Family)
