Landscape painting in oil colours, explained in letters on the theory and practice of the art, : and illustrated by examples from the several schools.
John Burnet's 1849 London treatise on oil landscape painting, published by David Bogue for students and practising painters, teaching theory and practice through examples from several schools. The plates here are rotated engravings of trees, foliage, and open country, showing tonal massing from dense darkness to fine linear hatching. A designer might borrow the strong light-and-dark contrasts and the way foliage is built from clustered shapes.
