About This Book

The work traces the presence and production of women in the visual arts from antiquity through medieval and Renaissance periods into the nineteenth century, offering historical surveys alongside concise biographical sketches. It emphasizes the media commonly pursued by women such as manuscript illumination, miniatures, portraiture, and sculpture, and examines the social, religious, and institutional constraints they faced, including limits on training and patronage. The author outlines individual careers and artistic methods while surveying how opportunities and public reception for women artists evolved across different schools and regions.

Harper’s Catalogue.

A New Descriptive Catalogue of Harper & Brothers’ Publications, with an Index and Classified Table of Contents, is now ready for Distribution, and may be obtained gratuitously on application to the Publishers personally, or by letter inclosing Six Cents in Postage Stamps.

The attention of gentlemen, in town or country, designing to form Libraries or enrich their Literary Collections, is respectfully invited to this Catalogue, which will be found to comprise a large proportion of the standard and most esteemed works in English Literature—COMPREHENDING MORE THAN TWO THOUSAND VOLUMES—which are offered, in most instances, at less than one half the cost of similar productions in England.

To Librarians and others connected with Colleges, Schools, &c., who may not have access to a reliable guide in forming the true estimate of literary productions, it is believed this Catalogue will prove especially valuable as a manual of reference.

To prevent disappointment, it is suggested that, whenever books can not be obtained through any bookseller or local agent, applications with remittance should be addressed direct to the Publishers, which will be promptly attended to.
