Label TextThe many volumes of Frederick J. Quinby's edition of the novels of Charles Paul de Kock featured various layers and techniques of illustration. Sloan's etchings were printed as etchings and sometimes hand-colored, while his major drawings were printed as photogravures, and the books also featured smaller, linecut drawings within the text. This beautiful, subtly shaded drawing was reproduced as a photogravure in the book.
