Pen and ink and wash
These drawings come from a pattern book
made for a manufacturer of Sheffield, or
fused plate. Such pattern books, both drawn
and printed, began in the 1770s and enabled
manufacturers to sell their goods by post and
through agents. By about 1810 pattern book
images had switched from straight side views
of the pieces to perspective views, as here.
These drawings were probably made for the
preparation of a printed pattern book.
