  The author considers how the face has been depicted by portrait painters, miniaturists, sculptors, caricaturists and photographers over the past 500 years and shows how every age has its own ideal standard of beauty influenced by changing fashions in dress, manners and artistic taste. This book explores the relationship between artist and sitter whilst considering whether or not the English face exists.
