Product information
J.F. Burrows – Lightning Artist: Master the Art of Quick Sketches.
Discover the timeless techniques of J.F. Burrows, a master of quick sketches and rapid drawing. This unique guide, Lightning Artist, offers insights into creating stunning sketches in record time, a skill once revered by magicians and performers of the 19th century.
Why This Book Stands Out:
– Unique Techniques: Learn the rare method of drawing with smoke, a fascinating approach that adds depth to your sketches.
– Historical Significance: Originally published in the late 1800s, this book offers a glimpse into the artistic practices of a bygone era, making it a treasure for collectors and history enthusiasts alike.
– Instructional Value: While not magic in itself, the techniques share a historical connection with magicians’ performances, providing a unique perspective on allied arts.
What’s Inside:
This book is a scanned reproduction of the original, preserving its historical authenticity. It delves into various methods of rapid sketching, including the intriguing smoke-drawing technique, and provides a fascinating look at the practices of 19th-century magicians and performers.
While the original program book by Burrows, which details the acts of famous magicians from 1860-94, is also mentioned, it is available in a modern, cleaned-up HTML format. However, the Lightning Artist remains a unique piece, perfect for those interested in historical art techniques and collector’s items.
Explore J.F. Burrows’ Lightning Artist, a 19th-century guide to rapid sketching and smoke-drawing techniques. Perfect for art enthusiasts and collectors seeking historical insights.
Contents are pretty much what title suggests: how to draw sketches very quickly.
This is not magic per se, but demonstrations such as this, along with things like paper folding, hand shadows, chapeaugraphy, etc., were often included in magicians’s programs way back when. Many of the old magic books include chapters on such “allied” arts, so it may be of interest to modern readers & collectors, too.
This publication features a unique technique: drawing with smoke.
This book is undated, but judging from photographs, probably dates from the late 1800s. Another book by Burrows, featuring programs of famous magicians of the time, covers the period of about 1860-94, so I assume this book comes from somewhere in that era. This is scan of original.
(The program book is interesting as well, but my copy is a modern, “cleaned-up” html version and thus not of as much interest to collectors, aside from learning what sorts of acts the stars of the day were doing…there are no explanations, just set lists.)
