Pictorial Half-hours, edited by C. K
An illustrated miscellany of short readings on history, antiquities, travel and natural history, edited and published by Charles Knight in London in 1850 for self-educating general readers. Wood engravings run from ruined castles and rural roadside scenes to classical subjects such as Paul preaching at Athens, offering tonal landscape vignettes, vehicle and costume detail, and small figure groups for cutting out.
