Notes
"The impressions of the Pictures have which have appeared in the various numbers of "The Cornhill Magazine" were unavoidably subjected to the disadvantage of being printed from electrotype ... The wood-blocks themselves have now been printed from for the first time, in the production of the Cornhill Gallery; and the Publishers trust that, with the very careful and skilful aid of the Brothers Dalziel, the Pictures are now produced in a style which will place them in their proper rank as Works of Art."--Preface.
