The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history,
British history, book studies, and visual culture.
Extending the scholarly discussion of visual history, this book
examines eighteenth-century engraved book illustrations in
order to outline the genealogy of the modern visualisation of
the past in Britain.
This study is based on a body of more than a hundred engraved
historical plates designed in the second half of the eighteenth
century in Britain and published in more than a dozen pictorial
histories. Focusing on these previously unstudied engravings,
this work contributes to the study of eighteenth-century visual
culture and is informed by current interdisciplinary approaches
at the intersection of visual and book studies. EighteenthCentury Engravings and Visual History in Britain is about the
urge to envision the past and about the establishment of the
new relationship between visual media, visuality, and history in
eighteenth-century Britain.
