Bartolozzi developed his style to imitate the subtleties of renaissance and baroque chalk drawings and became deservedly famous for his stipple engraving. The portraits in this collection show how effective this technique was in reproducing with such incredible fidelity Holbein's original designs. Accompanied by a biographical tract, giving a brief history of Sir John Gage, a nobleman in the courts of Henry VIII, Edward VI and Mary I.
