Description
Excerpt from Catalogue of the Plates of Turner''s Liber Studiorum: With an Introduction and Notes
Liber Studiorum was originally issued in parts, each containing five plates. They were stitched together in a blue-gray cover, with a badly printed title, and with no accessory to recommend them, or to suggest that their author wished the public to believe that within those slovenly wrappers lay some of the finest work of his genius. The price asked for the first numbers was, Prints, 15s. Proofs, £1. Sr.; ''to be paid for on delivery''; but it was afterwards raised to, Prints, £1. 1s.; Proofs, £2. 25. It is to be feared that the difference between these two classes of impressions consisted wholly in the price.
