Hints on drawing for process reproduction
A drawing manual of 1895 published in London by Charles Roberson & Co., an artists' colour manufactory, written by Charles J. Vine to teach artists how to prepare drawings for mechanical process reproduction. The pictures are pen and pencil landscape studies of trees, undergrowth and banks, demonstrating how tone and line are built up for reproduction. A designer can take from them the use of hatching, stippling and loose contour to suggest foliage and light without solid areas of black.
