Manuscript copy of part 2 to John George Wood's The principles and practice of sketching landscape scenery from nature. The work was originally published in four parts, from 1813 to 1815; a second edition was issued in 1816, and a third in 1820 (Abbey, Life 194). The third edition was reissued by Howlett and Brimmer in 1825. The present manuscript copy was created no earlier than 1825--date that appears in the watermark.
The manuscript very faithfully copies the content of the published version. The text, written in black ink across 14 pages, primarily describes each of the 16 "plates" that follow. The drawings, in graphite, are close reproductions of the lithographs in Wood's publication. They are faithful to all details in the original, including captions and perspective lines. The volume includes one blank leaf between the text and drawings. - Subject Terms:
