Robert Dossie (1717-1777) was an apothecary, but his interests were very wide ranging and spanned the gulf between the Sciences and the Arts. His training and his knowledge of chemistry allowed him to understand the science behind many of the processes used by artists, artisans and manufacturers of the day, and his wish was to explain and improve on the results that were achieved. He strove for this in his publications, including the present work, and the same motivation led him to help fund the Society for the Encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce in 1754. His works were appreciated during his lifetime, were translated into various languages and contain information that remains valuable today.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eVolume I is in three parts, Part I deals with the substances generally used in painting, colours, instruments, colour preparation, bonding substances, oil and water, varnishing, glass and map washes, as well as cleaning of paintings, Part II contains several arts used in making outline sketches from nature, taking impressions from medals, busts, Part III, discusses gilding, silvering, bronzing, japanning, lacquering, and the staining different kinds of substances with a variety of colour. Volume II is in five parts, Part I works with inks, cements, and ceiling wax, Part II, has contents on engraving, etching, scraping mezzotintoes, Part III, explicates the nature and composition of glass, and the art of counterfeiting gems of any kind.

These architectural drawings were created by John Sell Cotman, a leading member of the Norwich School of Painters. This work was produced at the expense of Dawson Turner, who was Cotman's collaborator for this work. The duo travelled to Normandy together, and Turner wrote the introduction and accompanying text for the work. Cotman taught Turner and his children to draw. Cotman produced these drawings from three visits to Normandy, the first with Turner in 1817 and two in 1818 and 1820. A collection of 100 plates listed to the contents pages. With fifty four plates to the first volume, as stated. There are technically fifty-one plates, with three double page plates. With forty-six plates to the second volume. To this volume there are forty-five images as plates 92-93 are a double page spread. Each plate has a contextual description by Dawson Turner. Turner selected the plates for this work himself. To the preface he notes 'in the descriptive portion of these volumes, attention has been almost exclusively directed to two points, the historical and the architectural. Locations depicted in the plates include Notre Dame in Rouen, St Sauveur le Viconte, Castle, the Tombstone of Queen Matilda, and more churches in Caen, Montivilliers, Lisieux and Fontaine-Le-Henri to name a few. Scarce in this condition and with interesting provenance. A lovely work, which is a beautiful example of architectural drawings of Normandy. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eLaurence Binyon, of the Department of Prints and Drawings, British Museum, offered this early and durable appreciation (\"John Crome and John Sell Cotman,\" The Portfolio, no. 32, 1897, at pp. 64-72), well worth recalling at length: \"All Cotman's etchings [--] are, in fact, simply records of architectural studies. It is in this light that we must view them; and so regarded, they have extraordinary merit. Few have understood architecture so well, or drawn it with such mastery. [--] He went to Normandy, and to see architecture, not pictures. [--] The result of these visits was the great series of 100 etchings, published in 1822. These etchings are more interesting architecturally than as drawings; and avowedly so. For Dawson Turner, in his introduction, says expressly that the buildings selected were chosen principally for certainty as to date. He tells us that many much more beautiful subjects might have been selected, but that these were excluded. [--] Still, some of the plates, especially those in which the building is made the centre of a landscape, are noble and impressive compositions. [--] The two views of Chateau Gaillard, one from below, the other from above, with the massive ruins standing desolate on their rocky solitudes; Tancarville Castle with its fringed cliffs reflected in the sunny stream; Falaise rising steeply above headlong boulders; and Mont St. Michel, surrounded by infinite sand and sea, are all seen as only Cotman would have seen them, and portrayed with a fine appreciation of their grandeur.\".\u003c\/em\u003e","brand":"John Sell Cotman","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41704924774571,"sku":"COTMAN1822","price":2950.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0456\/6872\/8995\/products\/SAM_7757.jpg?v=1650273459"},{"product_id":"austin-osman-spare-the-artists-books-1905-1927-by-w-wallace-2005-paperback","title":"AUSTIN OSMAN SPARE: THE ARTIST'S BOOKS: 1905-1927 BY W.
