Featured 3 Court Magazine Portrait Engravings

Trying to figite if these have more significant value or not?

 

How old is the magazine they were taken from?? They're interesting!

 

I think 1840’s.

 

Don't know if they have value but here's one from the same period in the British Museum.

Debora

 

I find nothing for sale but mostly museum examples.

 

I thought I knew what they were from... one of " (TH) Lacy's Dramatic Costumes" collections.

Then I went looking and the Lacy pieces seem like simplified copies? Or maybe just hard to sort from the available images. But now I have no clue if these are related to Lacy in any way other than he well may have copied them.

 

The National Portrait Gallery, London has this annotation on the print of Lady Jane Grey from the same Court Magazine series:

Lady Jane Grey

by Edward Hargrave, after Adriaen van der Werff
hand-coloured engraving, published 1840
9 in. x 5 5/8 in. (230 mm x 143 mm) image size
Purchased with help from the Friends of the National Libraries and the Pilgrim Trust, 1966

This portrait

This early Victorian print was produced for a popular women's magazine, which combined short stories and poetry with society news and fashion. It is announced as 'An authentic portrait engraved exclusively for the Court Magazine' but is, in fact, an adaptation of the Heroologia portrait. It is unlikely that the artist was aware of the original full-length portrait of Katherine Parr (NPG 4451) on which the Heroologia image is based. Rather than historical accuracy, the print focuses on the sumptuous costume of gold brocade, ermine and jewels.

Thanks for all the info. So, modest value.
