ABSTRACT

THIS MAGNIFICENT work will take its place in all libraries beside A. M. Hind's volumes on engraving in England in the Tudor period and in the reign of James I as their indispensable continuation. The reign of Charles I, as mirrored by the English engravers, now joins the seriep; this third volume follows the same editorial plan as the earlier ones and keeps up the impeccably high standard of editing. Every historian of the period, every student of its literature or of its art, will want to own this book. And less specialized readers as they turn the pages of the 214 plates will gain a visual impression of the times, of its major trends and interests, such as is to be found nowhere else.
