Book Description
Excerpt from The Old Engravers of England: In Their Relation to Contemporary Life and Art, (1540-1800) While attempting, in the following pages, to trace the art of copper-plate engraving in England through, as it seems to me, the most interesting period of its history, namely, from its introduction in the middle of the sixteenth century to its climax at the end of the eighteenth, I have had no thought for that print-collector with whom considerations of "state" and margin are more urgent than the appeal of pictorial beauty or human interest. To him the price at Christie's will count, perhaps, for more than the intrinsic interest of the print, or the life-story of the engraver. And to him these pages would probably say nothing. But to lovers of old times, who would eagerly turn from their intimate delights among the pages of Pepys and Evelyn, Lord Hervey and Horace Walpole, Mrs. Delany, Fanny Burney, Mrs. Montagu, or any of the old chroniclers, diarists or letter-writers, to visualise their impressions with the contemporary prints, to them I venture to hope my pages may serve a little for guidance. There is a charm about old prints quite apart from their quality as engravings. They are links of intimacy with bygone times. The printed page may stir us with vivid passages of history, or quicken our imaginations with the social sidelight, or the contemporary gossip of personal or fashionable import, but the prints of the period bring us at once eye to eye with the people themselves. So we may see what they actually saw, the very faces and persons of their contemporaries, the costumes they wore, the attitudes they affected. So we may judge the taste of their day in the pictures that responded to it, and in the scenic aspect of their favourite plays. In a word, the old prints revive for us the human atmosphere of a past age. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
