First Impressions Or Sketches from Art and Nature, Animate and Inanimate
A 1807 book of sketches and prints by James Peller Malcolm, a London draughtsman, issued to show landscapes, ruins and rural scenes for artists and general readers. Its pictures are etchings of architecture and countryside, many rotated on the page, showing ruined arches, churches and trees in dense hatched line that a designer could draw on for picturesque landscape motifs.
