DESCRIPTION: Engraved by J. Hill. From, "Lucas' Progressive Drawing Book," considered one of the finest early art manuals printed in the United States during the first half of the nineteenth century. It featured several Susquehanna images demonstrating compositional devices for the landscape artist that would later be utilized by the young generation of American landscape painters emerging at the time, including many of the future stars of the Hudson River School. The book remained popular and in general use for decades. <BR><BR> Although published by Lucas, the book was the brainchild of John H. B. Latrobe, who wrote the text and provided watercolors for the illustrations under the pseudonym E. van Blon. The three-volume book contained a total of thirty-eight intaglio plates, of which seventeen were aquatints engraved by John Hill, who specialized in the medium. – Bob Evans
