Author: CARTER, Harry
Title: Orlando Jewitt, Wood Engraver.
Description: Oxford University Press 1962, 48pp, Illustrated. Cloth. With dustjacket. 21 x 17 cm. In very good condition. "Thomas Orlando Sheldon Jewitt (1799-1869) was an English wood-engraver who specialized in Gothic architecture. His delicate work was familiar to generations of Victorians, but it has had no recognition since he died, and records of him are very slight. Harry Carter brings to light what can be known of Jewitt and his work. "This is an essay in editing material got together by the late John Johnson and left to posterity in his 'Constance Meade Collection'. Jewitt, the subject of this study, interested Johnson, we guess, because he was an excellent technician allied to printing, an Oxford worthy, and an unfashionable artist. To publish the study seemed worth while because the subject, which the Collection is well equipped to illustrate, has been neglected so far."".
