This vintage volume is a detailed treatise on modelling and sculpture,
being a full exploration of the different methods and techniques
popularly employed in these arts during the late nineteenth century.
This profusely illustrated handbook will appeal to those with an
interest in modern sculpting, and will be of considerable value to
students of art. Contents include: "A Short Description of the Progress
made in England During the last Thirty Years", "The Importance of Good
Training, and the Facilities afforded the Student in Various Art
Schools", "Modelling in its Elementary Stage and the Technique",
"Modelling a Portrait Bust", "Building up a Figure or Group in the
Round", "Waste Moulding and Casting", etc. Many vintage books such as
this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing
this volume now in an affordable, high-quality edition complete with a
specially commissioned new introduction on sculpting.
