Lot Description
Hutton, Hugh McMillen Life Studies: A Short Course in Figure Drawing
(Minneapolis, Minnesota: Bart Publication, 1927). First edition. Large 4to. 79 pp. Maroon cloth-covered boards, stamped in gilt; previous owner's inscription on front paste-down. With 16 mounted albumen prints (each approximately 7 1/2 x 4 3/4 in. [19.1 x 12.1cm]) depicting a nude model in various poses.
Hugh McMillen Hutton, an editorial cartoonist for the Philadelphia Inquirer, produced this as a guide for art students—the photographs (all present in this volume) were meant to be removed and placed in front of the student as they drew.
