About This Item
London: Wm. S. Orr and Co, 1855. 8vo. (10 x 6 3/4 inches). 26 plates (including 24 chromolithographs by Leighton Brothers). Contemporary full green calf, covers bordered in gilt, decorative endpapers. Skillfully rebacked.
First edition.
"A tour-de-force of Leightons colour printing. It contains 24 full page color plates by Leighton Brothers, of such variety that together they make of the book a kind of manual of color printing. In instructing beginning watercolorists, Barnard here showed the successive states of producing a drawing; at the same time this illustration showed the successive stages of printing a color plate. Among other prints in the book are some excellent examples of Leightons new method of coloring with relief metal plates. There are also a number of interesting studies in color juxtaposition. The volume is remarkable for the continued brilliancy of its colored inks" (J. Friedman, Color printing in England, no. 83).
Abbey, Life 94 (second edition).
