Occasional Sketches is a book published in 1898 by Wilson Smith Isherwood. The book is a collection of sketches that the author has created over the years. The sketches are a mix of portraits, landscapes, and still lifes. The book is divided into several sections, each of which focuses on a particular theme. The first section is dedicated to portraits, and it includes sketches of people from different walks of life, including artists, musicians, and writers. The second section is devoted to landscapes, and it features sketches of different places around the world, from the countryside of England to the deserts of Africa. The third section of the book is focused on still lifes, and it includes sketches of everyday objects such as flowers, fruits, and household items. The final section of the book is a collection of miscellaneous sketches that do not fit into any particular category. Throughout the book, Isherwood's sketches are accompanied by brief descriptions that provide context and insight into the subjects he has chosen to sketch. The sketches themselves are done in a loose, impressionistic style, with bold lines and vivid colors. Occasional Sketches is a charming and eclectic collection of sketches that offers a glimpse into the world of the late 19th century. Isherwood's talent as an artist and his keen eye for detail make this book a must-read for anyone interested in art and history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
