First edition. Redgrave was an important figure in the Victorian art-world, both as a painted and journalist. “Redgrave published various texts on art and design, and also wrote with his brother Samuel a valuable history of British art which remains a standard authority, A Century of Painters of the English School (1866), in which he expressed national pride in the development of an English school of art” (Oxford DNB).
