    Scrapbook of wood engravings

    Visual Materials

    A collection of 16 photograph albums, about 800 wood-engraved illustrations, 5 scrapbooks of wood engravings, letters, 15 small watercolors, and ephemera related to the Dalziel family of England. The Dalziel Brothers firm produced wood engravings for book illustrations, and this collection contains hundreds of examples of their work. The photograph albums were mostly compiled by Dora Dalziel, a daughter of Edward Dalziel, who also was a photographer, along with her sister, Grace Dalziel. The photographs include their houses (exteriors and interiors), family groups, vacation scenes, informal portraits, and domestic life. Some are captioned, but the majority of photographs don't have identifications. A few albums contain cabinet card and carte-de-visite portraits of various Dalziel family, their friends, and some theater or literary personalities. Two travel albums signed "Dora Dalziel, 1889" contain commercially-made photographs of Europe. The collection also contains hundreds of wood engravings created by the Dalziel Brothers firm, of illustrations by many notable Victorian artists including John Gilbert, John Everett Millais, and John Tenniel. The engravings are mostly individual prints on India paper, with the artist and title usually noted in pencil handwriting. There are also five scrapbooks of wood engravings, clippings, various types of illustrations, some letters, and ephemera, dating from approximately 1830s to 1929. Also included are 15 small watercolors on paper, unsigned.
