Sketching rambles in Holland

Boughton, George Henry, 1834-1905 · 1885 · London, Macmillan · 20 pictures

Sketching rambles in Holland is an 1885 travel book published in London by Macmillan, written and illustrated by George Henry Boughton for general readers curious about the Netherlands. Its pictures are wood-engraved scenes of Dutch village life, with figures in traditional dress, flat polders, reed beds and canals, rendered in fine hatched lines that suit designers wanting quiet rural narrative compositions and sketchy tonal texture.
