"The technicalities ofart are so ambiguous, so undefined, so little understood,-though to painters themselves the very clear obscure of theircraft,- that I shall consider myself already pardoned forpresuming to give a more defined light and shade into a picturecomposed of such varied detail,- for daring to throw even the glimmer of my poor dark lantern, upon so mysterious a subject." Sections, often in verse, on light and shade, chiaroscuro, color, drawing, composition, sculpture, etc.The plates as well as the text are a spoof.
