Undated. Circa 1980? "You can paint almost any subject or kind of decoration on porcelain. My personal interest has always been the study of flowers and fruit, so I have not attempted to cover other possibilities here. The tools and techniques which are described are those which I find most helpful." - the author. Jean Sadler is internationally recognized by porcelain artists for her paintings of flowers and fruit. She captures their beauty with an unusual combination of subtle shadows, strong contrast and graceful line arrangement. All colour. Moderate wear. Clean and unmarked. Nice copy. Book
2 vols. sm. 8vo. with coloured frontispieces (original tissue guards present) and 94 fine coloured plates; green pictorial cloth upper boards and backstrips lettered and blocked in gilt and black second volume neatly recased a very good bright clean set. Anne Pratt (1806-93) author of Common Things of the Sea-side and Our Native Songsters illustrated all her own work and 'in the spirit of the Victorian naturalists successfully merged the study of botany with romantic flower-lore. In 1855 she produced 'The Flowering Plants and Ferns of Great Britain', for which she is most well known' (Blunt). Her first botanical work, 'Wild Flowers' was first produced as a series of 96 coloured cards each containing two illustrations. The first appearance in book form was in 1852 after which it was re-issued numerous times as a late Victorian standard reference. See Freeman 3079, 3080.
