CALVERT, Edward (1799-1883), artist. -- Samuel CALVERT. A Memoir of Edward Calvert Artist . London: Sampson Low, Marson and Company Limited, 1893. Small 2 o (368 x 274 mm). Half-title, 45 in-text illustrations, 35 plates on 31 sheets after Calvert. (Some marginal browning.) Publisher's gilt-stamped buckram by Leighton Son and Hodge.

Calvert, an English wood-engraver and painter, was associated with William Blake and the Shoreham circle of the Ancients.

The Memoir contains impressions from the actual woodblocks and copper plates, but the lithographs are reproduced from process blocks.
