Title
India-Proofs of Wood-Engravings by The Brothers Dalziel
Description
English: Album with hand-written title page: 'India-Proofs of Wood-Engravings by The Brothers Dalziel. "The Pictorial World". 1879 to 1883. This Book was made up at the time the engravings shown in it were done.' Half-bound in brown leather and gilt; lettering on spine reads 'Wood-Engravings by the Brothers Dalziel. XXXIX. The Pictorial World. 1879 - 1883'. The album includes approximately 583 wood-engraved and process proofs, with some touched or annotated proofs. Throughout the album there are notes in Dalziel's hand that occasionally give brief information but extremely useful information, including about delivery dates and notes about printing techniques that were used. Note that the process prints are not by Dalziel (though their firm handled all these illustrations); some are by J Leitch, and then by Joseph Swain, who bought Leitch's photomechanical printmaking firm during these years.


This album is entirely made up of illustrations and titles for the magazine 'The Pictorial World'. They represent international and domestic politics, with striking images of Afghanistan after E G Dalziel, as well as images of collieries and Dublin riots. The magazine also includes light-hearted social entertainment, landscape, topography and fiction.
The album can be divided into the following sections:
Nos. 1-214: illustrations after various artists, October 1879 to July 1882. All were managed by Dalziel, and the wood-engraved illustrations were also engraved by the firm. However, this was before Dalziel became the owners of the magazine.
Nos. 215-459, 490-583: illustrations after various artists, August 1882 to December 1883. This was the period when Dalziel owned the firm, and wood-engraved illustration dominates here. The house-style changes completely; the magazine is re-launched with a new cover designed by John Leighton.


Nos. 460-489: large-scale colour-printed pictures for colour supplements. These include notes about the printing techniques used, in Dalziel's hand. The prints mix wood engraving or process line-blocks with colour aquatint and in one case lithography.

Notes

Catalogued by Bethan Stevens (University of Sussex) in partnership with the British Museum and the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC); digital photography by Sylph Editions, London (www.sylpheditions.com). This is one in a series of 49 albums in the British Museum with proof impressions of wood engravings by the Brothers Dalziel. An overview of the album has been offered here, but it would be possible to identify more writers, titles, artists and publishers on inspection and with further research. In many cases, designers have been listed for the wood engravings. Where no attribution comments are given, evidence is clear and has been verified (e.g. through publication details, etc.). Further, some indication has also been given throughout when a designer's work is signed with signature or monogram. After the producer's name and the print number or range, the letter 's' in parentheses indicates a signature, the letter 'm' a monogram, and neither letter indicates a print that is unsigned by the draughtsman or draughtswoman. In addition, most of the proofs have the Dalziels' signature, although some do not. The presence/absence of the Dalziel signature has not been catalogued, since it is known that all these prints are by them.

The album includes some hand-written annotation by the Dalziel Brothers.

[edit]
This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 70 years or fewer.

This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.

This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.

Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
