The Practice of Water-Colour Painting by A. L. Baldry, 1911 Macmillan, Antique Hardcover, Colour Plates, Rackham Brangwyn Allingham

This 1911 volume presents a foundational study of British watercolour painting, with A. L. Baldry's instructional opening followed by seventeen profiles of leading artists of the era—among them Arthur Rackham, Frank Brangwyn, and Helen Allingham. Each artist's work is accompanied by tipped-in colour plates, many depicting luminous landscapes and domestic scenes that remain fresh and vivid. A well-used copy in navy cloth boards, this antique hardcover offers both historical perspective on the medium and a window into the aesthetic sensibilities of early twentieth-century British art.
