"With the aid of an extensive collection of plates, drawn from the work of a multitude of British printmakers, Richard Godfrey shows the way in which, from shaky beginnings - when envious eyes were cast at the skills displayed on the Continent - British printmaking has developed its own traditions, both in subject-matter and style. All the well-known artists and techniques are included: Elizabethan engravings, the first mezzotints and their fruition in the great prints after Reynolds and Joseph Wright, Sandby's aquatints, the satirical prints of Gillray and Rowlandson, etchings and engravings by Gainsborough, Blake, Cotman, Palmer and Whistler, and, in the twentieth century, the work of Sickert, Gross and Paolozzi. Besides the work of the better-known artists, many prints which will be unfamiliar even to experts are shown and discussed, making Printmaking in Britain an invaluable tool for the collector. But it is not only print enthusiasts who will derive pleasure and information from this book; it will also serve as an indispensable companion for all those interested in the history of British painting.
