Comparative few people seem to have hard of this school of professional portraitists practising their art between the middle of the 18th century and the first quarter of the 19th, and there is at the moment no comprehensive exhibition of their works available in this country. Yet Britain led the world in profilism. The author is known for his expertise on the profilists and has written a number of articles on them. This book is probably the first systematic on on the subject to appear." FINE- HARDCOVER, FINE DUST JACKET. . Hard Cover. Fine-/Fine. 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall.
