About This Item
London: Adam and Charles Black, 1907. First edition. Illustrated with 50 fine plates, all but one being impressive colour reproductions of paintings by George Morland. Large 8vo, in the publisher's original blue cloth with an all over design of vines and trees on the upper cover and spine in light and dark greens and black, gilt lettered on both the upper cover and spine panel, t.e.g. xix, 289pp., 2 ads. A very bright and well preserved copy, the text clean and fresh with fine plates, the cloth attractive, sound and sturdy with just minor evidence of age. A VERY HANDSOME ENTRY IN ADAM AND CHARLES BLACK'S SERIES ON FINE BRITISH ARTIST. This volume, part biography and part a study in art, features 18th century painter George Morland, best known for his scenes of rural life. He begin painting at age three and was listed as an honorary exhibitor at the Royal Academy by age 10. His style is largely influenced by that of Joshua Reynolds, whom he had met as a child, and obtained permission to copy his pictures.
