Fac-Similes of Examples in Delineation

Visual Materials

One boxed set of art reproductions entitled Fac-Similes of Examples in Delineation, selected from the Masters, for the use of students in Drawing, Moses King, Publisher, Cambridge, Massachusetts, ca. 1882. The images were selected and described by Charles H. Moore, "Instructor in Drawing and Principals of Design in Harvard University", plates by the Forbes Company of Boston. There are 17 loose images total, including reproductions of Durer, Holbein, Da Vinci, Ruskin, Turner and Rout, with two copies of plate No. 5. The accompanying pamphlet, written by Mr. Moore, states the "[the drawings] have been selected with regard to their fitness to serve as guides in point of method to students of drawing, and they are published in this form [loose] in order that they may be conveniently used as drawing copies." Each of the 16 images are briefly described at the end of the pamphlet. The pamphlet and plates were originally enclosed in slim black case, which is also in the box.
