Turner, Roberts and Bonington are among the artists in these engravings from Galerie des Artistes Anglais, which presented British painting to French readers and is dated here to 1836. The publication reproduced work associated with the modern British school, with explanatory and critical writing alongside, ranging from Warwick Castle and the Scottish abbeys to continental ports, Italian scenery and the Rhine. Scenes from Shakespeare and Walter Scott sit among the landscapes, since the gallery was arranged by artist rather than by country or itinerary, and the engravings carried the paintings beyond the exhibition room.
