Description
BRADSHAW (Percy V.). The Art of the Illustrator. London, The Press Art School, [1917–1918]. 20 folio-sized fascicles (approx. 420 × 270 mm) in grey cardboard covers printed in brown, each containing a booklet of text and six plates mounted on cardboard. First edition. Percy Venner Bradshaw (1877–1965), a press illustrator and founder in 1905 of the Press Art School, a correspondence art school based in Forest Hill, conceived this series as a masterclass by example. He commissioned twenty prominent British illustrators to produce an original composition, allowing each the freedom to choose their own subject, provided they showed every stage of the process, from the initial sketch to the finished drawing. The twenty artists are H. M. Bateman (1887–1970), C. E. Brock (1870–1938), Cyrus Cuneo (1879–1916), W. Russell Flint (1880–1969), Dudley Hardy (1867–1922), William Hatherell (1855–1928), Fortunino Matania (1881–1963), Bernard Partridge (1861–1945), Spencer Pryse (1882–1956), Warwick Reynolds (1880–1926), Frank Reynolds (1876–1953), W. Heath Robinson (1872–1944), Harry Rountree (1878–1950), Balliol Salmon (1868–1953), C. A. Shepperson (1867–1921), E. J. Sullivan (1869–1933), Bert Thomas (1883–1966), Louise Wright (active c. 1910) and Lawson Wood (1878–1957). The fascicles are in good overall condition; remnants of the box that contained them are included (destroyed). Experts: Loup Axmann and Jean-Luc Boisseau
