Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from United States Pictures: Drawn With Pen and Pencil For a number of years the 'pen and Pencil Series' had upon its list a volume entitled American Pictures. It was written by the late Dr. Manning, and enjoyed a wide popularity. But in America things move quickly, and this book in almost all of its engravings, and in much of the letterpress, now possesses only an antiquarian value. Hence the resolution was taken to prepare an entirely new book; and to prevent all possibility of confusion with its predecessor, a new title was taken. United States Pictures has not a line of text in common with American Pictures, and of the one hundred and ninety-six engravings in the latter only five reappear in the former.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pen and Pencil Pictures From the Poets Here is a quiet Spirit in these woods, That dwells where'er the gentle south wind blows Where, underneath the white thorn, in the glade, The wild flowers bloom, or, kissing the soft air, $87 The leaves above their sunny palms outspread. With What a tender and impassioned voice It fills the nice and delicate ear Of thought, When the fast-ushering star of morning comes O'er-riding the gray hills with golden scarf Or when the Cowled and dusky-sandall'd Eve, In mourning weeds, from out the western gate, Departs with silent pace That spirit moves In the green valley, where the silver brook, From its full laver, pours the white cascade And, babbling 1ow amid the tangled woods, Slips down through moss-grown stones with endless laughter. And frequent, on the everlasting hills, Its feet go forth, when it doth wrap itself In all the dark embroidery of the storm, And Shouts the stern, strong wind. And here, amid The silent majesty of these deep woods. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book London Pictures Drawn with Pen and Pencil Classic Reprint written by Richard Lovett and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-08 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from London Pictures Drawn With Pen and Pencil The Pen and Pencil Series has hitherto included, with the exception of Sea Pictures, only volumes devoted to the description of a country. But many representations have been made to the publishers of the desirability of devoting a volume to London. The present book is an attempt to meet adequately that desire. The number of books dealing with the multifarious life and the antiquarian wealth of London is enormous, and the reader may at first be inclined to ask, 'why add another to the long list?' And the reply must be to the effect that no work exactly suited to the place which this is intended to fill is in existence. The author wishes here to acknowledge 'his indebtedness to many of the writers who have preceded him in this field. No attempt whatever at original research has been made, but the author has himself carefully inspected almost every place referred to in the volume; and he has consulted, so far as possible, all the easily accessible books on those portions of London with which he deals. He has also laid under contribution a great many books not easily accessible. It is hopeless to expect that amid such a multitude of detail all inaccuracy has been avoided, but his constant aim has been to make no statement of fact or history for which good authority is not forthcoming.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Spanish Pictures: Drawn With Pen and Pencil And Spain resembles Africa or the East in those very points in which she differs from the rest of Europe. The soil has that dry and sterile look with which African travellers are familiar. One may travel for hours over tracts of country in which there is scarcely a living thing to disturb the solitude leagues upon leagues of bare rock without a particle of soil clinging to their sides vast undulating plains, treeless and waterless; districts, each as large as an English county, covered with blocks of granite or limestone, like the desert of Sinai. Geologically, as well as in appearance, Spain is but a northern extension of the Sahara. Those who visit Spain, expecting to find exuberant fertility, will be disappointed. There are indeed fizzerfas, which produce their three or four crops a year, and repay the slightest amount of labour by harvests of incredible richness. But these seem like oases in an arid waste. Probably less than one half of the soil is under cultivation. Certainly the general aspect of the country is that of utter sterility and barrenness.

Download or read book The Wanderings of a Pen and Pencil Classic Reprint written by F. P. Palmer and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-05 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Wanderings of a Pen and Pencil It was deemed requisite by the Publisher to accompany the pages with something by way of a Preface to the whole; but in truth the nature of the book is so readily understood by a general reader and the plan of the narration is worked out with such entire simplicity (the chapters throughout haying a strong family likeness to each other, ) that little presents itself to our conception, but the presentation of a mere formal Introduction to those who always take interest in compositions of a similar nature; that is, such as relate to stray antiquities, and the chequered events which cling to the path of pilgrims seeking the relics and legends of a remote and by-gone period. Many observations, items, and statements are woven in our text which may bear contradiction from the more learned of the brethren, or, at the worst, provoke critical vehemence and disparagement. We do not apologise, or intend to apologise, for such a condition of the mutual production. From the beginning of the story to the end we went onward as gossiping adventurers, and as cheerful health-seeking sight-seeing travellers. Something we accomplished for our own profit and intellectual gratification - something we did for a profit and good example to others. We never wrote "Pundit or "Moonshee" upon the wallet after our sociable initials, or gave wise or simple folks reason to believe we were any thing else than inquisitive, persevering wayfarers, who often went by lanes and intricate roads, when the Queen's highway would have abbreviated the toil, and who were sometimes to be seen leaning over a mossy well, or a stale newspaper, and often brooding over green fonts, and crypts, of climbing stone, when it would have rendered more justice to the cookery of our tavern host for us to have been just as near to the soup kettle, or enveloped in the odorous vapour of the roasted capon, and its wholesome cottage accompaniments. We pray that no one may hunt us into our home of tranquillity, with the misconception that we have peculiar opinions about Ogham stones, coal, coins, or the singular profane carvings in country churches, and the like.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sketches Abroad: With Pen and Pencil I would say to the gentle reader that the contents of this rather consumptive little vol ume were not intended, originally, for the public eye, but for the eye domestic; being extracts from familiar letters written from abroad to my family at home, and for their especial pleasure and benefit. At the suggestion of a friend, I was induced to put them into type and use them as a thread whereon to hang the illustra tions, the originals of which were; for the most part, drawn from railroad cars, the coupe of a diligence, the back of a mule, or from the deck of a steamer.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Compact but comprehensive, this manual contains the best information available on pencil and ink techniques. Written and beautifully illustrated by an acclaimed artist and advertising illustrator, it's the perfect companion for artists seeking a guide to the variety of techniques and media for rendering their ideas on paper. Pencil drawing and ink drawing receive separate treatments; both sections stress materials and tools — including graphite pencils, charcoal and pastel pencils, wax pencils, pens, brushes, marking pens, scratching tools, and more. They also explore different methods of handling strokes and lines, techniques for stabling and conveying tones and shadows, and technical tips. The 28 step-by-step demonstrations — many of them exquisitely illustrated in full color — range from techniques of fine penwork and cross-hatching to drawing with colored inks and colored markers. In addition, a series of multipart exercises will prove extraordinarily useful to the student. The profusion of skillful illustrations throughout the book, over 540 in all, constitute a treasure in themselves, covering a great diversity of subjects — from portraits and still lifes to landscapes and cityscapes worldwide.
