List of Plates, Introduction, An Explanation of Technical Terms and Elementary Instructions, Art of Colouring, &c. Period green and orange boards, printed orange paper label with decorative border, skillfully rebacked perserving original spine, with an impressive artistic ink manuscript inscription to Susan M. Jones on a preliminary leaf A first edition of this early drawing instruction book which Reese called "the first American example of a popular genre." With the additional hand-colored engraved title and all ten aquatint plates, including six hand-colored and three hand-tinted. "The cultivation of the arts, unquestionably holds a very distinguished place among our enjoyments; and, as it tends to enlarge and exalt the mind, is justly considered an essential part of education in Europe, though hitherto in this country, it has been a matter of secondary consideration." - Introduction Though the author of this, the pioneering work of American art pedagogy, is unknown, it has been attributed variously to William Grogan by Shaw and Shoemaker; to William Cox by James A. Foster of the Maryland Historical Society; and to J. W. Alston in the Bernard Halliday catalog, likely due to a similar British Museum catalog entry. Reese states the innovative publisher and promoter Fielding Lucas himself might have written the text; he certainly was the force behind the project. As Reese relates, "Lucas was perhaps the most successful American publisher of 1810-1830, following the path of Benjamin Franklin and Isaiah Thomas in building a distribution network for his books throughout the United States." More importantly, Lucas was "one of the first to experiment with color illustration in books outside of the large works issued by subscription. Lucas clearly saw that the addition of color could be an effective marketing tool for publishers." [Reese] This was Lucas's first published book with color illustrations. Using color illustrations in books in the nineteenth century was expensive and labor-intensive. After creating the aquatint plate, it would be printed in black and white, and colored by hand with watercolors. Publishers drastically limited their market when they used color, as the price of the book was far higher than a title with only black and white illustrations. However, with this initial book's success, many such color-illustrated books published by Lucas followed, including 1820's The Art of Drawing Landscapes Being Plain and Easy Instructions and 1827's Lucas's Progressive Drawing Book, which focused on American scenery. The Art of Colouring's ten didactic plates instruct readers on how to outline and shade a landscape, and then how to color increasingly complex scenes, ending with one of a burning ship at sea in the dark of night. The plates were drawn by William Strickland, the architect who studied with Benjamin Latrobe (1764-1820) and later became a leading exponent of the Greek Revival in America. The present copy is in its original paper-backed boards with a printed label on the front cover. The title and date for the present copy are taken from the engraved title-page. The printed title-page reads somewhat differently from the engraved title-page, and is undated. A comparable copy sold at Christie's for $25,200 in 2022.

The three items in good condition, on lightly aged and worn paper. ONE: 4 April 1858. 2pp., 12mo. Bifolium. Addressed to 'Mr. H Moore | Messrs. Gambert & Co.' Regarding the financial arrangement surrounding his engraving 'The Miller's Daughter'. On the subject of 'the two repayment bills', he would 'rather not part with £50.00 for some two or three months to come'. TWO: 11 December 1858. 1p., landscape 12mo. Directing the firm to give the bearer 'six (6) Artists Proofs of Millers Daughter -, which I long since promised to the owner of the Picture'. THREE: 24 December 1860. 2pp., 12mo. He has finished the work he has 'in hand', and is 'looking around me to see how next to occupy myself'. He considers that it 'might be to your inclination & interest to put the plate into my hands' of 'The Saviour in the Temple'. He knows 'how important time is in the carrying out of such an enterprise as this', and undertakes 'to devote to it the whole of my time, & as to price I do not imagine we should have any difficulty as to that'.…

2pp., 12mo. In fair condition, aged and rather dusty, with small closed tear at head. He begins by explaining that he has been 'prevented by ill health from finishing the plate confided to my care, & of waiting upon you to make you acquainted with the cause of the delay. The engraving is 'in a state of forwardness', and he is willing to let 'Mr Satchwell' give his opinion of it before he sends it to them. 'I shall prove the plate again next week, after which I shall be enabled to state the time of its completion'. He ends by remarking that when he 'stated ten weeks as the time for completing a plate, I understood with the same portion of the work as in those of which Mr Harding [ senior partner Joseph Harding ] she me the Impressions. The Portrait of the Earl of Southn. has a great m more minutiae than any of those I inspected.' Postscript regarding a letter sent to Harding in Finsbury Square.…

Pye was an active figure in nineteenth-century British art. According to his entry in the Oxford DNB he was the engravers' 'best spokesman', hoping 'to raise the fortunes, status, and public profile of engravers by means of professional association and co-operation'. He was the author of a number of works, including 'Patronage of British Art' (1845). His collection of prints after Turner was acquired by the British Museum in 1869, and the proofs of Turner's 'Liber Studiorum' followed in 1870. His notebooks are in British Library. 1p, 4to, on the recto of the first leaf a bifolium, with the address, with fragment of a red wax seal, on the reverse of the second: 'William Carpenter Esqr / No 10 Nottingham Place / New Road'. In good condition, lightly aged and worn, folded five time. Signed 'John Pye'. He confirms that he is offering him his vote 'at the forthcoming election for Sec[re]t[ar]y of the Artists' Annuity Fund'. The 'good feeling' he has always entertained towards Carpenter, whom he now informs him is withdrawing from the contest, 'would have led me to do this earlier had I not given a promise in favor of Mr. Wood before I heard of your being a Candidate': 'By this change of circumstances your position as a Candidate becomes very much strengthened: for, I esteem the friends of Mr. Wood in this affair as being your friends'. He concludes: 'If I can say or do anything for you at the meeting for election or support of your hitherto more active friends, command me'. See image.…
