Forty lithographic impressions from drawings by Thomas Barker, selected from his studies of rustic figures after nature

Barker, Thomas, 1769-1847 · 1813 · Published by subscription at Bath : [s.n.] · 17 pictures

A 1813 album of forty lithographs by Thomas Barker, published by subscription at Bath, reproducing his studies of rustic English peasants drawn from life. The four pictures show single male figures in shabby coats, caps and hats, seated or standing on plain grounds with loose hatched shading; a designer could take from them quick, economical figure studies of working-class character and gesture.
