2021 Reprint of the 1961 Edition. Copiously Illustrated. Facsimile of the original edition and not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. Arthur L. has been a landmark in the literature of ink technique for many years. The volume has gone through many printings and reached many thousands of students. It has been out of print for a number of years because the plates had become worn, and a sharp reprint was no longer possible. Originally published in 1928, this 1961 printing has been edited to reflect the changes in taste and interest that transpired between 1928 & 1961. A number of chapters have been combined; several, covered in other books, have been dropped; two, and , have been entirely rewritten; and a short concluding chapter has been added. The greater part of Arthur Guptill's explanatory drawings as well as a good many examples of work by other artists have been retained. To this has been added almost a hundred examples of newer work. In short, this is a new and updated edition of this classic work.
