Colour changed how the eighteenth century saw itself. In these delicate prints, faces, fabrics and fleeting expressions return to vivid life. These prints still feel alive. Julia Frankau's Eighteenth Century Colour Prints is a richly informed art history monograph on the rise of stipple engraving techniques in 18th century British art. Focusing on Georgian portrait engravings and other refined subjects, this illustrated printmaking book opens a window onto the studios, patrons and connoisseurs who shaped Georgian era colour prints. It is both an engaging narrative and an antique colour prints reference, inviting general readers, designers and antique print collectors to look more closely at the subtle gradations of ink and the artistry behind every softly modelled face. An important early study of eighteenth century printmaking, Frankau's work illuminates figures such as Francesco Bartolozzi and the wider world of Bartolozzi stipple engravings, placing these sheets at the heart of cultural life in Georgian Britain. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure. Prepared with care for modern readers, this eighteenth century colour prints book functions equally as an art collectors guide and a handsome object in its own right, speaking to students of print history, designers, and anyone captivated by the quiet radiance of old paper and ink.
