A practical hand-book of drawing for modern methods of reproduction
A practical handbook of drawing for reproduction, written by Charles G. Harper and published in London by Chapman & Hall in 1894 for artists preparing work for print. Its pictures are pen and ink landscape sketches reproduced as plates, with captions naming the scene and crediting the artist, showing how loose sketchy line reads once printed. A designer could take from them the looseness of hatched foliage, water reflections, and bridge and boat silhouettes as models for quick, reproducible line work.
