Drawing & engraving : a brief exposition of technical principles & practice
Philip Gilbert Hamerton's 1892 manual on the techniques of drawing and engraving, published in London and Edinburgh by Adam and Charles Black for students, collectors and readers wanting to tell one reproductive process from another. The plates are demonstration specimens rather than decoration: pen-line landscapes with cascades and terraced gardens, sketchy crowd scenes, and passages of hatching printed to show how line behaves on the plate, useful as ready-made line textures and loose figure groups.
