The W. Martin Johnson school of art. Elementary instruction in color, perspective, lights and shadows, pen drawing and composition
A correspondence-course art manual issued by William Martin Johnson in New York in 1909, teaching color, perspective, light and shade, pen drawing and composition to amateur and aspiring commercial artists. Halftone plates run from cloud and mountain tone studies and a loose etched figure group to old-master compositions reproduced inside circular and rectangular vignettes, useful for atmospheric grey washes, silhouette horizons and diagrams of picture structure.
