  Drawing book in which the successful and fashionable drawing master and watercolour artist, Samuel Prout (1783-1852) explained light and shadow as well as composition in landscape painting. The first edition appeared in 1838 with 20 plates. Each plate contains between two and eight small illustrations, mostly of townscapes or seascapes of Normandy and Italy (including several of Venice). Prout was unusual in that he drew directly on the litho stone. John Ruskin observed in his A memoir of Prout (Art Journal, 1849), ‘it was Prout who established a highly successful formula for images of picturesque historic buildings in the cramped streets of continental towns, like very superior post-cards highlighted with sparkling colour, affectionately depicting intricate masonry, unrestored and often pleasantly decayed by time and weather; his reputation eclipsed Cotman’s for such views’.
