Description
Thomas Bewick Graphic Worlds by Nigel Tattersfield presents sixty engravings, some never published before, and offers a historical perspective on the artist's skill. This book celebrates Bewick's commercial ventures, which often showcased his unique flair and originality. Bewick was a trade engraver in Newcastle upon Tyne during the Industrial Revolution, working alongside other businesses catering to local customers. His artistic talent led him to approach commissions with his own particular style, creating many commercial works that are little known today. The British Museum holds an unrivalled collection of Bewick's works, and this book addresses a balance often overlooked in his legacy: the separation between his artistic and commercial pursuits.
