Harbutt's plastic method and the use of plasticine : in the arts of writing, drawing, & modelling in educational work
A London teaching manual from 1897 by William Harbutt, published by Chapman & Hall, explaining his plastic method of using plasticine for elementary art and modelling lessons. The pictures are photographs of plasticine relief work, with raised patterns pressed and modelled into flat slabs, which a designer might take as a source for simple repeating ornament, border bands, and stamped surface textures.
