PEEPS AT PRINT-SHOPS.
The Marine Drawing-Book of British and Foreign Shipping. Drawn from Nature and on Stone, by G. P. REINAGLE.
Mr. RetstaoLE is the young artist who put forth some clever and effective lithographic sketches of that " untoward event" the battle of Navarin, of which he was so fortunate as to be an eye-witness. This little work consists of four plates, each containing a variety of small sketches of shipping and craft, slightly drawn, but in a neat and effec- tive manner, and with nautical correctness as well as an artist-like style. Their scale is not sufficiently large for imitation by learners, and does not allow of proper making out in the drawing ; a defect of some importance in technical subjects, and one that is, too common in works designed for the student, who can never copy correctly what he does not ianderstand.
