Hans Holbein - Portrait of Edward VI 1828
Holbein
This stipple engraving is from Portraits of Illustrious Personages of the Court of Henry VIII: Engraved in Imitation of the Original Drawings of Hans Holbein, in the Collection of His Majesty. With a Biographical and Historical Memoirs by Edmund Lodge. Published by William Bulmer and Co., London 1828.
The plates in this work were printed on either pink or white paper and are remarkably well preserved in bright colours. The stipple engravings, with the colouring applied a la poupee, results in an unequalled quality of finishing. The plates offer full-page portraits and are by various engravers.
Each plate is accompanied by a letterpress commentary on the subject’s life.
