A consideration of the art of Ernest Moffitt
A monograph of 1899 published in Melbourne by Atlas Press, written by Lionel Lindsay and devoted to the drawings and etchings of the Australian artist Ernest Moffitt. The pictures are black-and-white reproductions of his pen drawings and etchings of landscapes, riverbanks, and figures in tall grass, several printed sideways on the page. A designer could draw on their economical hatching and dense, rhythmic line work for pen-and-ink landscape treatments.
