Original drawings by British painters : in the collection of J.P.H

Autotype Fine Art Company · 1902 · London : [s.n.] · 37 pictures

A 1902 London publication by the Autotype Fine Art Company reproducing original drawings by British painters from the collection of J. P. Heseltine, issued as a collotype album of facsimiles for connoisseurs and print collectors. The pictures are mostly tonal landscapes: woodland paths with heavy trees, a horse and figure on a track, and a shoreline with moored sailing boats and low buildings, each set on a blank cream page with wide margins. A designer might take the loose pencil and wash handling, the open sky areas and the framing of small images in generous white space as a model for a quiet, unhurried layout.
