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.
