PINDEN'S BRITISH GALLERY.•
The engravings belonging to this series have long been favourites in the shop-window and the portfolio ; fine in size, of high skill in execution, and taken from the works of many of the most famous or popular men in British Art of the last hundred years. They arc now reissued in parts costing ten and sixpence and containing three engravings each. Plates which have been doing duty for the last dozen years cannot be expected to strike off prints of irreproachable tone and delicacy ; but those belonging to the first part of this reissue are still in sufficiently good case to be well received and presentable anywhere. Turner's Oberwesel, with its serenely beautiful distance of water and mountain, Stanfield's capital sea-piece the Battle of Trafalgar, and Landscer's popular Interior of a Highlander's Cottage, are the contents of the first part.
Finden's Royal Gallery of British Art: a Series of magnificent Line Engravings, after Sir A. W. Calcott, A. A. Chalon, &c. Part I. Published by Griffin and Co.
