Glasgow men and women, their children and some strangers within their gates : a selection from the sketches of Twym / by A.S. Boyd

Boyd, Alexander Stuart, 1854- · 1905 · London : Hodder and Stoughton, 1905 · 151 pictures

A collection of A. S. Boyd's newspaper caricature sketches, signed "Twym," gathered as Glasgow Men and Women and published by Hodder and Stoughton in London in 1905 for a general readership familiar with the city's streets, shops and exchanges. The plates are dense pen-and-ink montages: many small figures per page, crowds in top hats and bonnets, shop counters, art-gallery visitors and rowing boats, with handwritten captions worked into the blank ground, giving designers cut-out figure crowds, hand-lettered labels and loose hatched linework.
