Drawings of David Cox
A 1906 London and New York plate book reproducing pencil and chalk drawings by the English landscape painter David Cox (1783-1859), with commentary by A. J. Finberg for a general art audience. The plates show rough woodland edges, a dark cave-like thicket, a figure group on a sandy track and a townscape sketched in fine line, and a designer could take from them loose tonal massing, scribbled foliage, and economical contour line.
