Language: English. Approximately 184 pages. English: Print-on-demand reprint. Original edition : 1634. Text in English. This rare early 17th-century treatise by Henry Peacham offers a comprehensive guide to drawing, color-making, and heraldry. Originally published in 1612 as 'Graphice,' it provides detailed instructions for creating accurate portraits of animals, preparing pigments, and applying them in various artistic and practical contexts. The work is particularly valuable for its insights into Renaissance artistic techniques and its role in the development of English heraldry. Book images are non-contractual. This item is printed on demand and ships from our printing partners' facility nearest the destination. These facilities are located mainly in the United States, the United Kingdom and Canada.
