the sixteenth and Seventeenth Centuries

INTRODUCTION.
THE present collection of engraved booktitles and frontispieces to books, though there
are not a few rare pieces in it, does not, of
course, pretend to completeness: it has no
higher aim than to hint at the pleasant store
of suggestion and anecdote that will reward
the student of these unconsidered trifles, although the artist, or even the amateur of engraving, should pass them by with a smile of
disdain.
These engravings, though often of extreme
rudeness, and rarely rising to a higher estimation than that of a neat and finished mechanism, even in the hands of a Faithorne or a
Hollar, may be classed with book-plates,
posters, play-bills and broadsides, fans, snuffboxes, autographs, and the whole miscellanylot of collectors* fads—the bric-a-brac of the
Muse of History. But they are richer in
suggestion and in solid interest than their com-

panions, and may even be allowed to have
in some cases a mild literary flavor, due to
their intimate association with the books in
which they are found: while the design and
execution, even when rudest, become interesting and respectable from their harmony, not
only with the domestic arts, but with the art,
properly so called, of the time. They are
rarely so dissociated from the contents of the
book as too often happens with us; but make
one with the printing and general air, and
reflect its character. It sometimes seems as
if the designer had worked on the suggestion
of the writer, and had himself become interested in what the author had to say; so that
more than one instance will be found in this
exhibit where the title-page serves as a sort
of illustrated index to the contents of the
book.
Nothing more has been attempted at this
time than to give a sketch of what was done
in England in this field in the seventeenth
century. The exceptions to the rule are few;
the most important are the specimens of the
work of William Rogers, who was born in

London about 1545? and who was the first
Englishman who is known to have practised
copper-plate engraving. It is pleasant to find,
among the examples of his work shown here,
the portrait of John Gerard, the author of the
well-known " Herbal," with its coarse but expressive wood-cuts, a good companion to the
" Essay on Gardens" by his great contemporary
Bacon, wherein the flowers and fruits of the
English year are so cheerfully and summarily
sketched. The work of the later engravers
Faithorne and Marshall is shown in a collection of examples that may fairly be allowed
representative. If Marshall, with his inferior
technical skill, running the gamut of good,
bad, indifferent, shall be found the more interesting of the two, it is perhaps because as
the portraitist-in-ordinary, so to speak, of his
time, his dullness is often forgotten in the interest we take in his subject. We thank him
for having shown us, even as in a glass darkly,
the faces of so many famous people. His
well-known portrait of Milton, the first that
was published, and which was so slyly rebuked by the great poet for its absurd want

INTRODUCTION.

of resemblance, might make us distrustful ot
the artist's performance in other cases, but it
will be noted that this portrait of Milton is
very poorly executed even for Marshall;
many of his other portraits look truer — have
at least the appearance of life, which this certainly has not.
The visitor to this collection, with an eye
to the manners of a past age, will find much
to interest, and even to amuse him, in the details of many of these plates. While there is
great diversity in the style and execution,
there runs through all of them what we may
call a certain contemporaneousness of expression — they are English, and English ot
the seventeenth century. They have a homebred — not seldom, as we may say, a homespun — air, not borrowed from the art of
foreign lands, nor recalling foreign models.
For though we find reproaches enough and
satirical touches in English books of the
time leveled against people who affected foreign airs and foreign dress, yet, in the main,
the English art of that day, in all its forms,
and English fashions, held their own stoutly

as against the Spanish, French, or Italian influence. They borrowed, no doubt, but they
speedily made what they borrowed their own.
Who can mistake English Jacobean plate, or
furniture, or jewelry for that of any other
time or people? It has its own distinctive
mark. And it is the same with these titlepages and frontispieces. The portraits, the
architectural framing, the glimpses of house
interiors, with the dresses, the furniture, and
occupations of the people, as seen in the vignettes that in some cases border the titles,
are all unmistakably English. This is perhaps more noticeable because, in the greater
number of cases, the engravers of these plates
were of foreign birth. Out of the thirty-six
names represented in the catalogue, only sixteen are those of Englishmen; the rest are
mostly of Dutch or German origin, and so
may be said to be of kindred blood. But
like the army of craftsmen in every field that
swarmed into England at that time, they
soon accustomed themselves to their new environment, and became as English as the
English themselves.

F after a title indicates that the engraving shown
is a frontispiece, T , that it is a title.
Where
detached plates are exhibited, instead of the
whole volume, an asterisk (*) is prefixed to the
entry. In all books exhibited, there is a printed
title, as well as an engraved title, unless otherwise mentioned.

conscientious accuracy. " Loggan was one of the
most celebrated engravers of portraits of his time,

William Marshall.
Probably the most prolific of the early English engravers. " Some of Marshall's plates are engraved
with miniature-like delicacy and finish, and have a
pleasing effect; but the majority, probably on account of the low rate of remuneration at which he
was compelled to work, are coarse and unsatisfactory; the portraits in Fuller's * Holy State' 1642
are particularly poor. From the monotony in the
style of his ornaments it is concluded that Marshall
worked chiefly from his own designs." His many
portraits are valued on account of their scarcity and
historical interest. " The title-page to Braithwait's
' Arcadian Princess,' 1635, is perhaps the best of his
plates of that class." His portraits of Shakespeare,
Suckling, Milton, Donne, and the Earl of Stirling,
in a brilliant state, are very fine and much sought
for.
