Writers, Artists and Musicians
Portraits of writers, artists and musicians
This selection portrays literary and artistic figures such as Shakespeare, John Dryden and the composer Fromental Halévy, together with critics like Jules Janin, in engravings and lithographs dated between 1727 and 1966. Several plates are the work of John Goldar and Charles Oliver Murray, and later pieces include press photographs from the Bernand agency in Paris.
The category appeals to admirers of literature, music and theatre history, and makes a fitting gift for anyone devoted to a particular author or composer. Every piece is an original period impression, with a technical sheet and measurements.
