Papermaking and the art of watercolor in eighteenth-century Britain

"This handsome and engaging book looks at how Vinters and Turkey Mill is a superb example of Sandby's art and an important document both of the rise of industry in the British countryside and of the intertwined developments of papermaking and the art of painting in watercolor. In addition, the book features other watercolors by Sandby and materials relating to the processes of papermaking and to the Whatman family and its mill."--Book jacket.
