Landseer / A collection of fifteen pictures and a portrait of the painter with introduction and interpretation

The volume gathers photographic half-tone reproductions of fifteen paintings and a portrait by Sir Edwin Landseer, accompanied by an interpretive introduction and commentary. The author assesses Landseer’s artistic character, technical gifts in drawing, texture, composition, and storytelling, and discusses recurring subjects—especially animals and deer—with notes on humor, pathos, and popular appeal. It includes a historical directory of the plates, an outline chronology, references to contemporary critics and bibliographic suggestions, and individual captions interpreting each picture. Plates reproduce works such as canine and stag subjects, genre scenes, and portraits, aiming to convey the range and character of Landseer’s art for a general readership.
