Description |
English: Album with hand-written title page: 'India-Proofs of Wood-Engravings by The Brothers Dalziel. "The Pictorial World". 1879 to 1883. This Book was made up at the time the engravings shown in it were done.' Half-bound in brown leather and gilt; lettering on spine reads 'Wood-Engravings by the Brothers Dalziel. XXXIX. The Pictorial World. 1879 - 1883'. The album includes approximately 583 wood-engraved and process proofs, with some touched or annotated proofs. Throughout the album there are notes in Dalziel's hand that occasionally give brief information but extremely useful information, including about delivery dates and notes about printing techniques that were used. Note that the process prints are not by Dalziel (though their firm handled all these illustrations); some are by J Leitch, and then by Joseph Swain, who bought Leitch's photomechanical printmaking firm during these years.
Nos. 460-489: large-scale colour-printed pictures for colour supplements. These include notes about the printing techniques used, in Dalziel's hand. The prints mix wood engraving or process line-blocks with colour aquatint and in one case lithography. |

Notes |
Catalogued by Bethan Stevens (University of Sussex) in partnership with the British Museum and the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC); digital photography by Sylph Editions, London (www.sylpheditions.com). This is one in a series of 49 albums in the British Museum with proof impressions of wood engravings by the Brothers Dalziel. An overview of the album has been offered here, but it would be possible to identify more writers, titles, artists and publishers on inspection and with further research. In many cases, designers have been listed for the wood engravings. Where no attribution comments are given, evidence is clear and has been verified (e.g. through publication details, etc.). Further, some indication has also been given throughout when a designer's work is signed with signature or monogram. After the producer's name and the print number or range, the letter 's' in parentheses indicates a signature, the letter 'm' a monogram, and neither letter indicates a print that is unsigned by the draughtsman or draughtswoman. In addition, most of the proofs have the Dalziels' signature, although some do not. The presence/absence of the Dalziel signature has not been catalogued, since it is known that all these prints are by them. The album includes some hand-written annotation by the Dalziel Brothers. |

Licensing
[edit]This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag. ![]() |
