The Biographical Mirrour, Comprising A Series Of Ancient And Modern English Portraits, Of Eminent And Distinguished Persons, From Original Pictures And Drawings: With Some Account Of Their Lives and Works
The Biographical Mirrour is a late eighteenth-century English collection of engraved portraits of eminent figures, compiled by Francis Godolphin Waldron and published in London in 1798 by E. and S. Harding for a general readership of collectors and biography readers. Sentence two: the pictures are oval or vignetted head-and-shoulders engravings in fine stipple and line, showing men in period collars, lace bands, fur-trimmed gowns and clerical dress against plain dark grounds, useful to a designer seeking restrained period portrait treatments and tonal engraving texture.
