Portrait of Sir Walter Scott and His Novels Engraved
A compact profile of Sir Walter Scott by Dr. Rogers accompanies a Gordon frontispiece engraving. The piece sketches Scott’s life, noting his six foot stature, limp, deep forehead, gray hair after illness, and keen memory. Cruikshank illustrations capture vivid character, including Master Holdenough interrupted and Peveril and Chaffinch. The book is handsome, not large, and likely to find a ready market.
