<p>Style, materials, techniques, and values are the focus of this richly illustrated guide to pen drawing. In addition to proposing solutions for practical problems, the book offers advice on architectural and decorative drawing. More than 70 drawings by assorted artists range from tranquil churchyards and bustling city streets to striking posters. Many of the images are derived from The Century Magazine, Harper's Magazine, The Architectural Review, and other illustrated periodicals of the early twentieth century.<br>Irish-American architect Charles D. Maginnis (1867–1955), a co-founder of the firm Maginnis &amp; Walsh, was active in the design of ecclesiastical and campus buildings across the United States. He also served as President of the American Institute of Architects from 1937–39. Maginnis' practical guide to pen drawing features several of his own illustrations, created expressly for this instructive volume.</p>

This is a relatively short book, published in 1899, showing some exquisite examples of pen drawing, and instructing the reader on how to produce them. Maginnis was a celebrated architect, and his love of buildings comes through in the text. The tone of the book can be a bit dated, but that adds to its historical interest, and the instruction is as true today as it was when the text was written.
