of the definitive catalogue, including all of the topographical subjects, the
Liber Studiorum and later mezzotints, book illustration and the Annuals, and
posthumous prints after Turner, with biography, bibliographies, glossary, etc.
Between 1794 and his death in 1851 Turner was involved in the production of over
800 prints based on his watercolours, paintings, and drawings - This is the
first book for over 75 years to deal exclusively with the engraved work of James
Mallord William Turner (1775 1851), the most popular British artist, both in
Britain and abroad. Now that the long neglected subject of artists' prints has
again come into favour among collectors, scholars and students, it is timely to
publish this critical survey, which studies and assesses Turner's work for and
with his engravers in the context of his development as a whole. The book
contains a checklist of all the prints associated with Turner, a glossary of
printmaking terms and a biographical outline - Perfetto stato.
