Our English Cousins ... Illustrated
Richard Harding Davis's 1894 sketches of English life for American readers, issued in London by Sampson Low and illustrated with halftone plates after wash drawings. Loose brush-and-wash scenes of crowd behaviour — a moor shoot, a wrestling ring, a packed coach, towpath runners at a boat race — offering massed figures, silhouetted spectators and grey tonal backgrounds for atmospheric group compositions.
