Etching on title and 45 plates on laid India paper, one double-page; slight damage to one corner of a few early leaves, a little spotting to title and contents leaves.
Sir George Hayter [1792-1871] an accomplished portrait painter was Principal Pa inter in Ordinary to Queen Victoria, to whom he taught etching. Maurice Grant in his 'Dictionary of British Etchers' is full of praise for Hayter's skill, who he considers is not sufficiently recognised. This publication shows a selection of more than half of the plates he executed. The subjects include portraits, animals, bandits, religious and some after Old Masters, and most were made in the 1820s or earlier.
