Numbering over 2700 they cover a vast range of subjects: cathedrals, ships, bird's-eye views of cities, scenes of the Thirty Years' War, butterflies, shells, women's costumes. Hollar drew portraits of his contemporaries, illustrated the Bible, Aesop's fables, Homer, and Virgil. Rembrandt apart, he was arguably the greatest, certainly the most skilful etcher of his day. This catalogue for the first time identifies and listes all the etchings of Hollar. Each print is fully described, and the various problems of the editions of the Dance of Death, of the costume prints, and of the Dugdale illustrations and the London maps are fully dealt with. Mr Pennington has also written the first comprehensive and accurate life of Hollar, and this appears at the beginning of the book.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eForeword\u003cbr\u003e The classification\u003cbr\u003e Notes on cataloguing method\u003cbr\u003e Abbreviations\u003cbr\u003e The life of Hollar\u003cbr\u003e Appendixes\u003cbr\u003e Catalogue of prints\u003cbr\u003e Addendum\u003cbr\u003e Bibliography I\u003cbr\u003e Bibliography II\u003cbr\u003e Index to the catalogue and life.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Individual artists, art monographs [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Individual artists, art monographs\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Individual%20artists,%20art%20monographs%20%5BAGB%5D%22\"\u003eAGB\u003c\/a\u003e], Prints \u0026amp; printmaking [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Prints \u0026amp; printmaking\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Prints%20\u0026amp;%20printmaking%20%5BAFH%5D%22\"\u003eAFH\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46004908622104,"sku":"9780521529488","price":58.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9780521529488i_7ed0ac36-c77e-4cb9-a911-6ab5644f36da.jpg?v=1691368997","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/a-descriptive-catalogue-of-the-etched-work-of-wenceslaus-hollar-1607-1677-paperback-9780521529488","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
