An essay is presented on the relations between painters and engravers in London, England from 1760 to 1850. It explores the role played by reproductive engravers in supplying reproductions of paintings and helping promote the painters' reputation. It discusses the art of engraving as a means for the reproduction of painted originals. It also examines the conflict between artist and engraver due to an indeterminacy of their relationship.

This appreciation of Sally Ledger, formerly Hildred Carlile Professor of English at Royal Holloway, University of London, who died in January 2009, is written by a colleague and fellow board member of Women's History Review. It focuses upon her professional career as a Victorianist and literary gender specialist who made a major contribution to international scholarship on Victorian to fin-de-siecle culture, women's writing, literary gender studies, and Dickens studies.
