Text leaves with faint mottled foxing and minor browning and off-setting just a few plates with negligible faint spots or smudges otherwise A WONDERFUL COPY THE ORIGINAL SPARKLING BINDING IN AN AMAZING STATE OF PRESERVATION. This is a sumptuously bound copy of three manuals intended to teach the art of drawing to young persons written by the accomplished botanical painter who produced the renowned "Pomona Britannia." In an earlier career Brookshaw ca. 1751-1823 was a successful London cabinet-maker whose painted Neoclassical furniture attracted such titled enthusiasts as the Duke of Devonshire and the Prince of Wales but he suddenly abandoned this livelihood in the 1790s. Art historian Lucy Wood speculates that the sudden change was prompted by involvement in a financial or sexual scandal as he also parted company with his wealthy wife around this time. He spent a decade living under the name "G. Brown" teaching flower painting to refined young ladies before producing his first manual "A New Treatise of Flower Painting" which was finally issued under his real name in 1816. The three guides that make up the present volume were intended as a supplement to that work and they expand the subjects covered to fruit and birds. In the preface to this work Brookshaw observes that flower painting is a "peculiarly appropriate" accomplishment that may be obtained "without the expense of a Master a few elementary instructions and good copies being sufficient." The plates here are more highly finished than the examples in his original "Treatise" in order to "lead the young artist onward in a progressive line of improvement." Fruits and birds are added to offer a new challenge for the pupil and Brookshaw notes that while avian subjects lack the variety of botanical ones they compensate with "the inifinite number of attitudes they assume." Our elaborate and immaculately preserved binding is testament that our volume was never used as a drawing manual but was more likely enjoyed for its own merits as an attractive object.

rif. 007394Mexico presumed. NA. Good. Brightly colored exuberant specimen of Mexican Folk Art depicting peasants and their shacks. The human figures 20 in all are highly stylized with many shown in profile reminiscent of Ancient Egyptian human representations. A few of the peasants are shown looking head-on. The figures are also from one or two molds -- the same image is repeated more or less but with the dress varied mainly in the choice of colors. Most of the human figures are barefoot with a few wearing sandals as surely would have been the everyday experience of rural life at same time and place. The peasants are arranged in a field with semi-abstract representations of flowers stalks and seedlings. Amidst the people there is a single ox. Some of the peasants look as if they're waving at us. While generally the peasants look impassive or expressionless a few have the look of agitatoin. The painting is rendered without perspective and we think this was a deliberate choice reinforcing the naive feel of the painting as a whole. Above all else it is the colors that stand out with their rich clarity and immediacy. Surrounding the figurative imagery of the peasants and their hovels there are four or more decorative bands also distinctively colored with mostly geometric repeats the outer band inside two ruled lines linking orange flowers with wavy green frondes. The painting is on vellum that is very papyrus-like. The artwork is signed "Flores" with the first part of the signature "Greserv C90" an enigma to us. N.d. circa 1930. Condition: moderate to heavy here and there soiling. A few minor tears. unknown books
