The Cabinet of the Arts is a drawing manual compiled by John Dougall and published in 1821, offering a complete system of drawing, painting, etching, engraving, perspective and surveying for students. Its plates show studies of heads, hands, drapery and trees, with one engraving of a tree beside a wooden fence, and a designer could take from them the mannered, shaded pencil technique of early nineteenth-century academic practice in studies of hair, foliage and bark.
