This text, presented here in a revised edition, traces the development of portrait painting from the medieval effigy to the glamour of Edwardian oil paintings. It covers European as well as British styles of art and illustrates an immense variety of media and techniques, including silhouettes, photography, oils, miniatures and wax portraits, and demonstrates the history of the notion of an ideal "English" face.
