Volume 3 contains much valuable new material including a chapter on Richard Dadd and discussions of such great Victorian illustrators as Tenniel and du Maurier.The celebrated Victorian narrative painter William Powell Frith (18191909) was a born raconteur. His twovolume autobiography of 1887 ran to three editions in the same year. The third edition is reissued here together with its supplementary volume of 1888. Frith was an ideal commentator on his age. He never lost his early interest in literary and historical subjects and moved in the highest artistic and literary circles. Yet he also saw himself as a man of the people. His most famous works were his modernlife panoramas Ramsgate Sands (1854) Derby Day (1858) and The Railway Station (1862). Discussing such projects he reflects on everything from costume to portraiture art dealers to female artists and even picture frames. In particular Volume 3 records the breakdown of the talented Richard Dadd Friths admiration for Daniel Maclise John Tenniel and George du Maurier and reflections on the vagaries of fashions in art.Introduction: 1.
