Anastatic Drawing Society, Ashby-de-la-Zouch · 1859 · [Ashby-de-la-Zouch] · 24 pictures

A set of pen and ink drawings printed by the Anastatic Drawing Society of Ashby-de-la-Zouch in 1859, held by the Getty Research Institute, apparently issued as a plate collection for members. The plates show architectural subjects: a ruined stone arch, a half-timbered house, and a castle tower with a bridge, rendered in loose hatched line. A designer might take from them the rough sketched hatching and the crumbling masonry textures of old buildings.
