Lessons in Flower and Fruit, Modelling in Wax (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781300264545)

Lessons in Flower and Fruit, Modelling in Wax by John H. Mintorn, first published in 1870. The conviction that a more practicable and explanatory guide to modelling flowers and fruit in wax than any hitherto obtainable would be acceptable to my pupils and others who practice this interesting branch of the Plastic Arts, and the feeling that I could supply the want, have prompted me to publish the following " Lessons." I have as much as possible avoided the use of technical terms, so that the reader may better understand and more easily practice what I attempt to teach. Careful attention to my " Course of Lessons " and study of the various diagrams accompanying many of them, will, I think, enable any who have a taste for such imitative arts to model with truthfulness and pleasure, and to produce such lifelike portraits of their garden favorites as must be alike interesting and pleasing.
