What reading level is Gossip About Portraits : Principally Engraved Portraits book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
; and there is an impression, doubtless unique, of the extremely rare print of Sir John Burgh, by Cecil], before the face was inserted, which would perhaps be preferred to the finished print by some who love a print, for its money's worth, as others love a lady, not for her beauty or mind, but for her stake in ' Con- sols.' Thus the portrait of Uytenbogaert, called ' the Gold- Weigher,' by Rembrandt, in the first state, that is with the face only in outline, sold at Sotheby's in 1864 for as muc...h as £51 ! — an ordinary impres- sion with the face finished being to be had for from 2 to 10 guineas, according to condition. Another class of portraits which may be noticed here as ' unsatis- factory,' are those which have been altered from the image of one person to that of another. There are numerous instances of this practice known both to old times and to the present day. I shall not inter- fere with the latter, but may mention some curious cases occurring among old prints. That of Sir John Burgh, for example, cited above, was altered to Gustavus Adolphus, King of Sweden, and the UNSATISFACTORY PORTRAITS.
