Two heavy card attached by two metal rings
by Gould-Bacon, F.
Two heavy card attached by two metal rings. Very Good. Lovely sketchbook of English and Scottish scenery done by a gifted amateur. N.d., circa 1930. Oblong, 18 by 26 cm. Unpaginated, 13 leaves, with 16 pages of illustrations -- most are on rectos. One of the watercolors is mounted. The balance of the artwork done directly into the album. Seven watercolors, and nine pencil or charcoal drawings. Depicted are picturesque bridges, streams, coastal scenery, hillscapes and cliffs, castles (Ludlow Castle), farmhouses, manor houses and cottages, villages, railroad tracks, stiles and fences. Impressive is the fusion of the impressionistic with an attention to detail. Three of the drawings are less finished, in our view, with only one being more or less dashed off quick studies, and this one being the only page of drawings not of landscapes. Condition: Light soiling of the cover. One leaf detached.
