[Drawings]

Anastatic Drawing Society, Ashby-de-la-Zouch · 1863 · [Ashby-de-la-Zouch] · 20 pictures

A set of anastatic reproductions of pen and ink drawings issued in 1863 by the Anastatic Drawing Society of Ashby-de-la-Zouch, a small English town, and held by the Getty Research Institute. The plates show English domestic and village architecture rendered in hatched line, with several sheets printed sideways on the page. A designer could take from them the loose cross-hatched shading and the picturesque, hand-drawn character of Victorian architectural sketching.
