One drawing book entitled The Youth's New Drawing Book, Containing Progressive Information on Sketching and Drawing Landscape Scenery, &c. Designed for Self Instruction, or the Use of Teachers, published by C.P. Huestis, New York, 1844. This drawing book is 24 pages in length, and contains 11 numbered woodcut illustrations, labeled as plates. As stated in the preface, "the author has endeavoured to place within reach of ingenious young artists, ... all requisite information to attain a practical knowledge of the art." The focus of this book is on teaching the student to make a "correct drawing"; the lessons instruct on perspective, proportion, outline and form. Some of the illustrations include: a large house, a cow, and several views. "Vincent L. Dill, Stereotyper" is printed on the verso of the title page. The front cover bears the same image as Plate V, with the title superimposed on the image. The final page and the back cover are duplicate publisher's advertisements.
