About this Item
4to. vii, 43 pp of text. 96 plates including frontis (all with tissue-guards). Publisher's black cloth with bevelled boards and gilt lettering and motif to front. Top edge gilt. A superb, as new, copy presented in the scarce original grey box with white label pasted to front, now a touch dusty in places. Sir David Young Cameron was a Scottish painter and etcher. As well as becoming well known as an etcher the artist also produced a great many oil paintings and watercolour sketches of landscapes and architectural subjects. Cameron's earliest known oil painting dates to 1883. His work was influenced by the Glasgow Boys and the Hague School. His first exhibition of 14 paintings received mixed reviews. Amongst the many good reviews others described his work as lacking in subtlety and substance with too much concentration on decoration. This was due in part to his romanticising of his subjects.
