E. H. - Album of Watercolours and Pencil Drawings.
1834 - 1840. Large 4to. 280 x 230 mm. Sheep backed pressed cloth covers. An album of 34 images, alternating fine pencil drawings with lovely vibrant watercolours, all on thin card except for one page of a pair of pith pictures mounted on the card which are slightly damaged. One lift the flap picture showing the artist's easel with sketchbook which opens out to show a landscape view. E.H. is unknown, the front of the album is dated 1834 and the rear 1840, presumably the start and finish dates. The pencil drawings show a talented use of shading to give true depth to the images, though the portraiture may be less skilled. The natural history watercolours and drawings are of a high quality and the anthropomorphic figure, "The Circulating Library" show the artist's witty side.
