In the left foreground a shop sign appears to say “PAIN” and, beneath it, “Meat commnission salesman”. On the right is the “Bell Inn” which no longer exists, except possibly in a trace as a small office.</p><p><a href="http://www.fromoldbooks.org/Knight-LondonVolII/pages/025-old-college-warwick-lane/">(read more...)</a></p> Wed, 04 Mar 2026 10:49:00 GMT liam@holoweb.net (Liam Quin) http://www.fromoldbooks.org/Knight-LondonVolII/pages/025-old-college-warwick-lane/ http://www.fromoldbooks.org/Knight-LondonVolII/pages/001-sir-christopher-wren/ <p><a href="http://www.fromoldbooks.org/Knight-LondonVolII/pages/001-sir-christopher-wren/" title="Portrait of Sir Christopher Wren, from London (Volume II) (1841), added on 3rd March 2026"><img src="http://tn.fromoldbooks.org/Knight-LondonVolII/tn/001-sir-christopher-wren-q75-468x500.jpg" width="120" height="128" alt="Portrait of Sir Christopher Wren" title="Portrait of Sir Christopher Wren, from London (Volume II) (1841), added on 3rd March 2026" /></a></p> <p>This black and white engraving appears to be based on the 1711 “Kit-cat” of “Kit-kat” portrait in oils of Sir Christopher Wren by Godfrey Kneller; these portraits show the upper half of the subject, including the hands.

It’s not actually so dark in the original oil painting, but the engraver (credited to Max Narua von Weber) for the Moderne Kunst magazine reproduction back in 1898 made it pretty dark.</p> <p>It looks almost as if the conductor is on the other side of a sheet of glass, a window or door perhaps, pressing one hand against the surface so we see the white of his finger-pads.</p><p><a href="http://www.fromoldbooks.org/ModerneKunst-04/pages/017a-detail-man-behind-glass/">(read more...)</a></p> Thu, 19 Feb 2026 08:39:00 GMT liam@holoweb.net (Liam Quin) http://www.fromoldbooks.org/ModerneKunst-04/pages/017a-detail-man-behind-glass/ http://www.fromoldbooks.org/ModerneKunst-04/pages/017a-detail-christmas-choir/ <p><a href="http://www.fromoldbooks.org/ModerneKunst-04/pages/017a-detail-christmas-choir/" title="Christmas Choir, from Moderne Kunst in Meister-Holzschnitten Band IV (1898), added on 18th Feb 2026"><img src="http://tn.fromoldbooks.org/ModerneKunst-04/tn/017a-detail-christmas-choir-q75-472x500.jpg" width="120" height="127" alt="Christmas Choir" title="Christmas Choir, from Moderne Kunst in Meister-Holzschnitten Band IV (1898), added on 18th Feb 2026" /></a></p> <p>In a dark candle-lit church, a bespectacled man holding a baton is leading a choir of boys in white surplices. The boys are not actually looking at the conductor, and are perhaps drowned out by the bassoon and the tuba in their midst. The front boy (on our left) holds a thurible, or censer, suggesting that this is either a Roman Catholic or high church Protestant service. The boy nearest to us holds what might be a hat.
