Drawings of John M. Swan, R.A.. [Text by A.L. Baldry]

Swan, John Macallan, Baldry, A. L. (Alfred Lys), 1858-1939 · 1900 · London, G. Newnes, New York, C. Scribner's · 26 pictures

A 1900 London and New York art monograph on the drawings of the animal painter John Macallan Swan, with text by A. L. Baldry, presenting numbered plates of his studies. The pictures are pencil and chalk studies of lions and a tiger in motion and at rest, reproduced rotated on the page; a designer could take from them the economy of contour lines and the way a body's weight and tension are conveyed with loose, quick strokes.
