Drawings and inscriptions in a sketchbook he began in the summer of 1824 at the age of 19 document his intense, visionary approach to nature as he walked in the fields and woods of south east London, near to where he was born. This sketch of tree trunks exemplifies Palmer’s idiosyncratic experimentation with different forms of outline as he tried out ways of drawing natural forms. He has used a range of techniques and pressures with the flexible nib of a quill pen, creating fine vertical strokes, fat circular loops and tiny dots to represent the various textures of bark. ","physicalDescription":"Leaf 47, a sheet from a sketchbook (pages 93 and 94) both sides of which have been drawn on. \r\nDisplayed in mount to show page 94 - a sketch of woodland with a variety of tree trunks; one with a particularly knobbly surface and another in the foreground featuring a large knot. A building and fence are visible in the middle-distance. \r\nOn the verso (page 93) are sketches of a line of shrubs, with the trunks of two spindly trees along the bottom in an opposing format.","artistMakerPerson":[{"name":{"text":"Samuel Palmer","id":"A2333"},"association":{"text":"artist","id":"AAT25103"},"note":""}],"artistMakerOrganisations":[],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[{"text":"paper","id":"x30308"},{"text":"ink","id":"AAT15012"}],"techniques":[{"text":"drawing (image-making)","id":"AAT54196"},{"text":"sketching","id":"AAT53576"}],"materialsAndTechniques":"Pen and ink on paper","categories":[{"text":"Drawings","id":"THES48966"}],"styles":[],"collectionCode":{"text":"PDP","id":"THES48595"},"images":["2011EN0910","2026PM3904","2017JU0491","2018KY0040","2017KA8621"],"imageResolution":"high","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"LVLC","id":"THES49171"},"free":"","case":"MB2A","shelf":"DR77","box":""}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"drawings","id":"AAT33973"}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"England","id":"x28826"},"association":{"text":"drawn","id":"x30545"},"note":"probably"}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"ca.1824","earliest":"1819-01-01","latest":"1828-12-31"},"association":{"text":"drawn","id":"x30545"},"note":""}],"associatedObjects":[],"creditLine":"Given by Mr. A.
