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 engrav-
ings, 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. Eighteenth-Century 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.
The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, British history, book
studies, and visual culture.
