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.<br/> <br/> 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.

Fleur has Signed the magazine on the first page. Beecher allowed the use of a black and white reproduction of a Steinbeck-themed trompe l'oeil painting to illustrate the article "Tortilla B Flat: A Serenade to John Steinbeck Composed on the Typewriter" by Eddie Condon also illustrated with a portrait of Steinbeck by Robert Capa. A note in Beecher's hand laid in says: "N.B. this copy autographed by Fleur Cowles is also signed by John and me-" and indeed Steinbeck has Signed above the painting and Beecher beneath it. Also laid in is a Typed Letter Signed from a Flair employee to Beecher asking him to sign an agreement to reproduce the artwork.<br /> <br /> A 2001 letter from Steinbeck's son Thom written to supply details about sitting for a portrait by Beecher called the artist a family friend and that his father "maintained an abiding fascination for Beecher's work through the years. A half-dozen examples of the artist's best canvases still brighten our house in New York." A nice association. Cowles Magazines, Inc.) unknown
