Studies of trees : fir, larch, elm, chestnut, birch, lime, poplar, willow, with a description of each tree, and full instructions for drawing and painting, by an experienced teacher
A late Victorian drawing manual from London publisher Blackie & Son, 1895, written by Jonathan Needham with Vere Foster, teaching students to draw and paint trees. The plates show oaks, beeches and a woodland scene in pencil and colour, and a designer could take from them the gnarled trunks, spreading canopies and dappled light of studied tree forms.
