$a The half-title reads, 'Engraved Portraiture Of The Sixteenth Century'. The title of the handlist is 'Examples Of The Engraved Portraiture Of The Sixteenth Century. List Of Illustrations And Index'. A note printed on the verso of the title page states, 'The Impression Consists Of Only Fifty Copies ...'. In his Preface Sir William draws attention to the various methods used in reproducing the prints - the photo-lithographic, e.g. plates 17 (Dante) by Whiteman & Bass, 26 (Charles V) by Stephen Ayling, 64:5 (L. Alberti) by Peter Fergusson; the photo-type, e.g. plate 21:2 (Charles V) by James Ramage printed by Geo. Waterston & Co.; and 'Sun printing', i.e. the 'carbon process', e.g. plates 54 (Aretino) by Charles B. Praetorius, and 109 (Sixtus V) by Alexander MacGlashon, and the 'photodynamic', e.g. pl. 107 (Coornhert) by Sawyer & Bird. |
