Drawings of Leonardo da Vinci [by Charles Lewis Hind]

Leonardo, da Vinci, 1452-1519, Hind, C. Lewis (Charles Lewis), 1862-1927 · 1907 · London G. Newnes · 4 pictures

Drawings of Leonardo da Vinci by Charles Lewis Hind, published in London by G. Newnes in 1907, is a art-book reproducing the drawings of the Italian painter Leonardo da Vinci for a general readership of art lovers. The four plates are halftone reproductions on mounted cards: a bearded old man in profile in black chalk, a mounted armoured rider, a kneeling nude seen from behind in red chalk, and a helmeted warrior's head in profile, showing how hatching and chalk modelling build form, and a designer could borrow their tonal shading, armour detail and anatomical gesture.
