Pattern for almost every sort of figure and combination; wonderfully useful for children, designers, and artisans.
Prang’s Water-color Studies are the best examples of what is known as the new style of water-color painting, in which transparent colors only are mixed in the brush and laid on broadly.
They are reproductions of works by American artists designed primarily for instruction in art, but none the less available for home-decoration on that account. Indeed they rank the higher in interest, being all they seem to common eyes, and faithful illustrations besides of recent advances in one of the least familiar departments of Art. They are not unfinished sketches, but exquisite finished color-work. The use we expect to introduce them to by this List is chiefly the non-professional, home-decoration. Let it be understood, there is nothing more fit for that use, and nothing higher, within the reach of people of limited means.
They comprise landscapes, marine views, flowers, animals, birds and figure pieces from such artists as Turner, Moran, Bridges, Lambdin, Giacomelli, etc.
