Excerpt from The British Drawing-Book, or the Art of Drawing With Accuracy and Beauty: Containing a Series of Progressive Lessons on Drawing Landscape Scenery, Marine Views, Architecture, Animals, the Human Figure, &C. &C., Also a Complete System of Practical Perspective
The great utility of the Art of Drawing to every class of society, is now generally acknowledged, but it is only a few years back that it was considered as an art only required by painters, draughtsmen, or drawing masters, and by the latter class of artists taught to ladies and gentlemen as an elegant accomplishment con nected with genteel education. As the commerce and manufactures of England increased, the immense variety of articles produced by the mechanic and artisan, required new and elegant forms, ornaments, and patterns, and many persons engaged in the potteries, cotton, and silk manufactories, paper stainers, and numerous other trades requiring embellishment, found the great necessity of obtaining a knowledge of the art of drawing; the books written upon this subject were of little use to the working classes of society, as they were only written for ladies and gentlemen, and the examples and observations could only be appreciated by those that were liberally educated. Since that period, many excellent works have been published on the art of drawing, tending to a more general diffusion of the art, but still considering it rather as an aecom plishment than a necessary part of a common education. It is the intention of the Author of this work to place such plain rules and examples before the student, that any person that can read may learn to draw.
