The table book of art; a history of art in all countries and ages
A one-volume popular art history by Phillip T. Sandhurst, published in New York by Worthington in 1880 for middle-class parlour readers surveying painting across countries and periods. The plates are steel and wood engravings after Victorian and older genre paintings — hunt suppers, cottage doorways, village crowds — with dense cross-hatched tone, deep interiors and captioned credit lines useful for period figure groups and costume.
