description:
Although celebrated as the leader of the creative revival of wood engraving in late 19th-century France, Lepère was also a painter who used pastel to make studies directly from nature. This study of a woman sewing is inscribed to the artist's friend, Lotz-Brissonneau, who in 1905 authored the catalogue raisonné of Lepère's graphic work.license:

artist:
Edward Calvertdate: 1828
medium: wood engraving
current location: institution:Cleveland Museum of Art
source: link
credit: link
description:
Calvert was so influenced by William Blake's wood engravings that The Sheep of his Pasture is directly based on an illustration for The Pastorals of Virgil (on view nearby). Calvert, however, even more than Blake, exploited the ability of wood engraving to achieve the most delicate detail, so astonishing in these miniatures.
Calvert's subject matter originated from a vision of the golden age of pastoral innocence and abundance that has both Christian and classical overtones. The women in The Brook resemble figures carved on antique gems, and the tree stumps symbolize the transitory nature of life.license:

description: An enormously fat man walks (left to right.) towards an eating-house followed by a lean and ragged man bent with the weight of a basket laden with food which he carries on his head and shoulders. The fat man is walking with a wheelbarrow, which he uses to support his enormously projecting stomach; the barrow is partly supported by straps which go over his shoulders and across his stomach. He mops his forehead with his left hand. He wears a tie-wig, a laced coat and waistcoat, and is evidently intended for a rich and vulgar citizen. His porter is dressed in rags, with bare legs and toes projecting through his shoes; he carries one wine-bottle in his right hand, two more under his right arm; his basket, supported on a large pad or cushion, contains a turtle, a hare, two snipe, a haunch of venison (?), and three bottles. The fat man is about to enter a door over which is a sign, "Good eating & cool rooms". This hangs from a projecting beam with pulleys; from it three barrels are also hung as a sign. Over the door is inscribed "Wines". Behind the ragged man is a row of tenement houses, whose nature is indicated by the nearest one. A ladder leads down to its cellar over the door of which is written "Dinners & shirt wash'd for 2 pence". Above the first-floor window is a large notice, "Shafe & Cut hear"; from it projects a barber's pole. Above the second-floor window is "I. Nabbem Taylor." 24 February 1777
