This is a vintage 1984 book by Jeremy Maas titled The Victorian Art World in Photographs.

A visual feast of Victorian painters, sculptors and engravers with their wives, models, mistresses, dealers and patrons. Photographs of Charles Dickens, Oscar Wilde, Lewis Carroll, Tennyson and much more. So many candid and posed photos in their studios. 425 photos, 70 percent of them printed here for the first time since original publishing. Hardcover. 1st printing.

The collection is the largest in private hands. Anyone who achieved any fame at all in the Victorian era was photographed either for friends or for a ready sale to an eager public. Maas's copiously illustrated album is an excitingly rich visual record of the Victorian art world revealing the artists in full-scale portraiture, at work in their studios, or in informal groupings. Artists included are Palmer, Alma-Tadema, Beardsley, Burne-Jones, Dadd, Millais and Lord Leighton revealing the artists in full-scale portraiture, at work in their studios, or in informal groupings.

Features: Landscape, narrative and portrait painters, animal, sporting and battle artists, nude and still-life, watercolourists, Pre-Raphaelites and their followers, illustrators, British artists abroad, foreign painters and sculptors working in England.
