Cross, Anson K. (Anson Kent), 1862-1944, Ginn and Company, publisher, Athenaeum Press (Cambridge, Mass.), printer · 1901 · Boston, U.S.A., and London : Ginn & Company, Publishers : The Athenaeum Press · 60 pictures

A drawing manual by Anson K. Cross, published in Boston and London by Ginn & Company in 1901 for art teachers and their students, covering light and shade in charcoal, pencil, and brush. The plates pair photographs of plaster cubes, cylinders, and cones with student-style charcoal studies of jugs, boxes, and cast shadows, giving designers hatched tonal grounds, geometric solids with hard-edged shadows, and simple still-life silhouettes.
