Bryan's Dictionary of Painters and Engravers. Biographical and critical dictionary of Painters and Engravers from the revival of the art under Cimabue, and the alleged discovery of engraving by Finiguerra, to the Present Time: with the ciphers, monograms, and marks, used by each engraver. One thousand additional memoirs, and large accessions to the lists of pictures and engravings, also new plates of ciphers and monograms, in this new revised edition. Debossed brown covers with gilt titles on spine. The cover has heavy wear and tear, with damage to the hinges and edges of spine in particular. The binding is exposed at the hinges internally, but the pages are all secure. Heavy foxing throughout. The text is clear.
