Crayon portraiture; complete instructions for making crayon portraits on crayon paper and on platinum, silver, and bromide enlargements, also directions for the use of transparent liquid water colors and for making French crystals
Crayon portraiture is a 1892 New York instruction manual by Jerome A. Barhydt, published by Baker & Taylor, teaching amateurs and photographic enlargers how to make crayon portraits on paper, platinum, silver and bromide prints. The pictures are cross-hatched and stippled line demonstrations of tonal technique, showing how mesh-like crosshatching builds shadow on a face and background, with one ornamental scroll border; a designer could draw on them for hatching textures and tonal modelling.
