Trees, and how to draw them..
Trees, and How to Draw Them is an 1886 London drawing manual by the artist Philip Henry Delamotte, published by Winsor & Newton as instruction for students of landscape sketching. The four plates show individual trees and branch studies in fine pen-and-ink line, labelled by species. A designer could take from them the way a tree's silhouette, bark ridges and leaf clusters are built up from loose, varied strokes rather than outlined shapes.
