About This Book

A collector-focused study surveys suppressed and cancelled plates, wood engravings, and related curiosities, illustrating how prints were altered, withdrawn, or repurposed. The text documents examples linked to notable fiction and satirical prints, examines different states and palimpsests, and traces editorial and artistic interventions that led to cancellation or adaptation. Individual chapters consider specific artists and plates, provide descriptive commentary on engraved vignettes and cancelled portraits, and present plates and notes intended to guide bibliophiles, print historians, and collectors in identifying and understanding these rarities.
