Focusing on an era that both inherited and irretrievably altered
the form and the content of earlier art production, The Art-Journal
and Fine Art Publishing in Victorian England, 1850-1880 argues that
fine art practices and the audiences and markets for them were
influenced by the media culture of art publishing and journalism in
substantial and formative ways, perhaps more than at any other time
in the history of English art. The study centers on forms of
Victorian picture-making and the art knowledge systems defining
them, and draws on the histories of art, literature, journalism,
and publishing. The historical example employed in the book is that
of the more than 800 steel-plate prints after paintings published
in the London-based Art-Journal between 1850 and 1880. The cultural
phenomenon of the Art Journal print is shown to be a key connector
in mid-Victorian art appreciation by drawing out specific tropes of
likeness. This study also examines the important links between
paint and print; the aesthetic values and domestic aspirations of
the Victorian middle class; and the inextricable intertwining of
fine art and 'trade' publishing.
