DOBSON, William T., Scott, Walter - Sir · 1881 · Bickers & Son · 23 pictures

An anthology of kingly and queenly passages culled from Walter Scott's novels and poems, compiled by William T. Dobson and issued by Bickers & Son in London in 1881 for Victorian readers of Scott. Twelve photographic plates after paintings give tonal sepia crowd scenes under trees and castle walls, while small wood-engraved vignettes show armoured riders with lances in tight oval frames, useful for medieval figure silhouettes, hatched horse anatomy and compact spot illustrations.
