About This Item
London: Cassell, 1997. First Edition, first printing. Original Cloth. Fine/fine. 8vo (24.5cm). Publisher's blue cloth, gilt titles to spine. In a fine, unclipped dust jacket. xvii, 200. 53 plates, mostly in colour, as well as further b&w illustrations, many of his own works, and reproductions of other artists' works. Hebborn's infamous instruction manual on the techniques he used to create numerous forged drawings and paintings. Published shortly after his death in Rome, likely murdered. Appears all but unread, an excellent copy and the best I have handled.
