Hardy, Thomas
THE RETURN OF THE NATIVE
New York: The Heritage Press 1942. Hardcover. Fine/Issued Without Jacket. This classic of Victorian era romantic literature was Hardy's sixth novel his seventh counting his unpublished first work. There was some difficulty at first finding a publisher since social and sexual conflict was not openly discussed in late 19th century England. The title refers to Clym Yeobright a young diamond merchant who has returned from Paris to his home and family in rural England to serve as a teacher to the poor. He finds himself in conflict with the rigid sexual morality of Victorian society and defiantly marries Eustacia who wants only a life in Paris. When Clym insists on teaching she commits suicide. First printing first Heritage Press edition originally published in serial form in "Belgravia" magazine in 1878. About 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 inches 416 pages in cloth-covered boards showing graphic design featuring a snake and a butterfly with gold lettering on spine. Illustrated with wood engravings by Agnes Miller Parker. Sorry slipcase is missing as is the "Sandglass" the publisher's flyer. Boards and text are complete clean and unmarked. Perhaps a touch of edgewear o/w no tearing chipping scratching or bumped corners. Still capable of standing proudly in any bookcase. It is interesting to note that the novel mirrors in some ways Hardy's own return to his rural roots after a career as an architect in London. It has been the basis for several movies and works for the stage. <br/> <br/> The Heritage Press hardcover

Harold Speed
The Practice and Science of Drawing
ABOUT THE BOOK:- In this book, the author approaches the dynamic aspect of drawing and paintings from many different points of view. He plays the historical against the scientific, theory against precise artistic definition. He begins with a study of line drawing and mass drawing, the two basic approaches the artist needs to learn. Further sections carry the artistic vision through unity and variety of line and mass, balance, proportion, portrait drawing, the visual memory, materials and procedures. Throughout, Speed combines historical backgrounds, dynamic aspects which each technique brings to a work of art, and specific exercises through which the young draughtsman may begin his training. Harold Speed, master of the art a drawing and brilliant teacher, has long been cited for this important work. ABOUT THE AUTHOR:- Harold Speed (1872-1957) was an English painter in oil and water colour of portraits, figures and historical subjects. Born in London, he studied architecture at the Royal college of Art, but soon took up Paintings, and continued his studies at the Royal Academy School between 1891 and 1896, winning a gold medal and a travelling scholarship in 1893. In 1896, he was elected as a member of the Royal society of Portrait Painters. He exhibited at the Royal Academy from 1893 and held his first one-man exhibition in 1907 at the Leicester Galleries.
