Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Charcoal Sketches: Or Scenes in a Metropolis Among the publications of late years, we have Pencil Sketches, Crayon Sketches, Pen and Ink Drawings, Pencillings by the Way, and other works deriving their titles from the pursuits of the draughtsman. To avoid plagiarism, therefore, while following the fashion, this humble volume is presented bearing the unambitious name which heads its pages. There is certainly nothing very imposing about it; but charcoal has its uses and its capabilities; and the sketcher is content if he has been able even to approach any of the broad effects which can be dashed off by the aid of an article so homely. A number of the trifles contained in the volume are familiar to newspaper readers, under the general title of "City Worthies." Although mere fancy portraits, farcical in their nature, and written for a temporary purpose, they were received with such unexpected favour as to induce their publication in the present form.
