But it was then suggested to the +publisher, by one who was able and willing to co-operate in the object, +that although the book was intended to be merely an improved reprint of +what had been given before, a short chapter might advantageously be +added respecting those Artists of the present day who were omitted by +Jackson, or have risen to eminence since his time.</p> + +<p>Applications in the form of a circular were accordingly issued, and +have resulted in the Specimens now presented. They must speak for +themselves, it not being within the province of the publisher to +pronounce as to their respective merits. Besides which, the art of +wood-engraving, owing to the enormous impulse given to it during the +last twenty years, has attained such a pitch of excellence, that it +would be somewhat difficult to determine who, if sufficiently +stimulated, could produce the most perfect work. Artists in Wood, like +Artists in Oil, have their specialties, and excel relatively in +Landscape, Cattle, or Figure drawing; Architecture, Natural History, +Diagrams, or Humour. But though each may acquire distinction in the +department which choice or accident has assigned him, some can undertake +all departments equally well. In saying this we refer to engraving +rather than designing, for Harrison Weir would hardly undertake +Architecture; Orlando Jewitt, Animals; or George Cruikshank, +Mathematical Diagrams.</p> + +<p>When, with the age of Bewick, wood-engraving began to reassume its +importance for book illustration, both designing and engraving were +generally performed by the same hand; but, in the present day, the +professions are becoming too important to be joined, and those who, like +William Harvey, Samuel Williams, and others, commenced by practising +both, now, recognising the modern policy of a division of labour, +confine themselves with few exceptions to one. Our business here, so far +as designs are concerned, is almost limited to those draughtsmen who +habitually draw on wood, for it is unnecessary to say that every drawing +or painting may be transferred to wood by the practical operator.</p> + +<p>The following Specimens are given in accidental order rather than +with any notion of precedence or classification.</p> + +<span class = "pagenum"><a name = "page550" id = "page550"> +550</a></span> + +<div class = "picture w350"> +<p><a name = "illus_550" id = "illus_550"> </a> +<img src = "images/illus_550.png" width = "335" height = "422" +alt = "see text and caption"></p> + +<p class = "leftside"> +PERCIVAL SKELTON</p> +<p class = "rightside"> +JAMES COOPER +<p class = "caption"> +THE SIERRA MORENA</p> +</div> + +<p>The present and following specimens are engraved by <span class = +"smallcaps">James Cooper</span>.

After comparing him advantageously with Poussin, he proceeds +to say, “Who with one thought or memory of nature in his heart could +look at the two landscapes, and receive Poussin’s with ordinary +patience? Take Creswick in black and white, where he is unembarrassed by +his fondness for pea-green, the illustrations, for instance, to the +<i>Nut-Brown Maid</i>, in the Book of English Ballads. Look at the +intricacy and fulness of the dark oak foliage, where it bends over the +brook; see how you can go through it, and into it, and come out behind +it, to the quiet bit of sky. Observe the grey aërial transparency of the +<span class = "pagenum"><a name = "page589a" id = "page589a"> +589*</a></span> +stunted copse on the left, and the entangling of the boughs where the +light near foliage detaches itself. Above all, note the forms of the +masses of light. Not things like scales or shells, sharp at the edge, +and flat in the middle, but irregular and rounded, stealing in and out +accidentally from the shadow, and presenting in general outline, as the +masses of all trees do, a resemblance to the specific forms of the +leaves of which they are composed. Turn over the page, and look into the +weaving of the foliage and sprays against the dark-night-sky, how near +they are, yet how untraceable; see how the moonlight creeps up +underneath them, trembling and shivering on the silver boughs above; +note also, the descending bit of ivy, on the left, of which only a few +leaves are made out, and the rest is confusion, or tells only in the +moonlight like faint flakes of snow.</p> +</div> + +<div class = "mynote"> +<p><a href = "#page_image">Page image</a> showing original layout.</p> +</div> + +<p>“But nature observes another principle in her foliage, more important +even than its intricacy. She always secures an exceeding harmony and +repose. She is so intricate that her minuteness of parts becomes to the +eye, at a little, one united veil or cloud of leaves, to destroy the +evenness of which is perhaps a greater fault than to destroy its +transparency. Look at Creswick’s oak again, in its dark parts. Intricate +as it is, all is blended into a cloud-like harmony of shade, which +becomes fainter and fainter as it retires, with the most delicate +flatness and unity of tone. And it is by this kind of vaporescence, so +to speak, by this flat misty unison of parts, that nature and her +faithful followers are enabled to keep the eye in perfect repose in the +midst of profusion, and to display beauty of form wherever they choose, +to the greatest possible advantage, by throwing it across some quiet +visionary passage of dimness and rest.”</p> + +<p>Mr. Creswick has recently contributed several vignettes to Tennyson’s +Poems.
