1768 1ed ART Gilpin Essay Upon Prints Rembrandt Poussin Antique Collecting Guide

An early guide to antiquarian collecting!

William Gilpin was an English artist, Anglican cleric, schoolmaster and author. He was most notable as one of the originators of the concept of the picturesque, a set of rules for depicting nature. This notion would be expounded upon and expanded by other contemporary philosophers.
'An Essay upon Print's, attributed to Gilpin, is one of the first guides on print collecting in English. It became the standard for those collecting all kinds of prints, especially those of 'picturesque' quality. It also cautions against investing in copies of originals and acquiring poor impressions. Gilpin, who remained anonymous as the author, included the names of iconic artists – such as Rembrandt and Poussin – as those whose art is worthy of collecting.
