The digressions of V. : written for his own fun and that of his friends
Elihu Vedder's illustrated memoir, published by Houghton Mifflin in Boston in 1910, recounting his painting life in Italy and America for readers and friends. Halftone plates reproduce charcoal and pencil heads, reclining figures, and pages of small Paris sketchbook studies, framed by ruled borders — useful for soft tonal portraiture, loose figure studies, and sketch-page layouts.
