Ornate Rectangular Frame

This ornate rectangular frame or cartouche surrounded the volume number of the magazine on the title page. I liked the flourishes on the top and inside, with a hint of acanthus leaves. [more...] [$]

Title Page

The title page of the collected issues of the Art-Journal for the year 1850. [more...] [$]

Dedication page With Cartouche

The dedication page comes after the title page and imprint page. Here it uses a giant circular frame or cartouche of gems or diadems to enclose the text. [more...] [$]

Cartouche with Sculpture, Art and Architecture

This is the main engraving from the title page of the 1850 Art-Journal, without the writing. [more...] [$]

Bacchus with sun-face

This is a version of the picture of the top of the Bacchus bowl coloured in yellow and a warm orange to make a sun face. It’s really a wine god, but would surely pass for a sun face. [more...] [$]
