The studies of Sir Edwin Landseer, R.A.. : illustrated by sketches from the collection of Her Majesty The Queen and other sources : with a history of his art-life

Monkhouse, W. Cosmo (William Cosmo), 1840-1901, author, Landseer, Edwin Henry, Sir, 1802-1873. Works. Selections · 1877 · London : Virtue and Company, Limited · 21 pictures

A critical study of the sketches and drawings of the English animal painter Sir Edwin Landseer, written by W. Cosmo Monkhouse and published in London by Virtue and Company in 1877 for art readers and collectors. The pages reproduce quick pencil studies of horses, a pig, a cow, a dog in a warren, and a few figures, with captions giving place and date, and they show how a painter builds an animal from loose gestural lines and hatched shading that a designer could borrow for sketchy animal drawing.
