Arthur Thomas Malkin 
The Gallery of Portraits (Vol. 1-7) [EPUB ebook] 

Arthur Thomas Malkin, an English biographer and literate of the 19th century, is most notably recognized for his work on ‘The Gallery of Portraits (Vol. 1-7)’. Although not as household a name as his contemporaries, Malkin’s contribution to English literature is commendable. His multi-volume series stands as a testament to his dedication to documenting and sharing the visages and lives of prominent figures that molded the cultural and political landscape of his time. With meticulous attention to detail, Malkin curated each volume with biographical sketches that were not only informative but elegantly composed, reflecting his scholarly background and his literary panache. This compendium remains a valuable resource for historians and enthusiasts of biographical literature. Malkin’s prose is indicative of the era’s penchant for detailed narrative and provides modern readers with a window into the norms of 19th-century biographical writing. While perhaps eclipsed by the brilliance of more famous authors of his time, Malkin’s work continues to be a subject of interest for those studying the period’s literary output and provides enduring insights into the figures who graced the pages of his portraits gallery.
