Artists for Outlines. &c. &c. Fine Pencils for Drawing, used by Artists, Drawing-Masters, and Pupils. FF Ditto ditto (double thick in Lead.) ACKERMANN's fine genuine Cumberland Black-Lend Pencils, not prepared, have been known for many years as the best Pencils for Sketching and general use. They are particularly adapted for young Students to copy from LITHOGRAPHIC Studies. The prepared Pencils, F, FF, B, and B B, serve for the deep Shades and finishing Touches. R. ACKERMANN has received many flattering Letters from first-rate Artists, a few of which will sufficiently prove the high estimation in which his Prepared BLACK-LEAD PenCils are held. DEAR SIR, Brixton, March 1, 1824. Please to accept my sincere thanks for the set of your Prepared LeadPencils; and, having given them a fair trial, I feel much pleasure in assuring you, that I cannot do less than give them my warmest commendation. I think it is not too much to add, that I anticipate the reception of your excellent Pencils will be very general among Artists; and I am sure that, in proportion as they become known, they cannot fail of giving satisfaction. I remain, Dear Sir, SAMUEL PROUT. DEAR Sir, GEORGE-STREET, Dec. 28, 1823. The set of Pencils that you favoured me with, I have thoroughly tried, and most decidedly think that they have the advantage over those hitherto most celebrated, in the sweetness of their working, and in their consistent certainty: what I mean by this is, that they are not liable to offend you by the occurrence of scratching pieces, which I have constantly met with, and which I have been compelled to cut out several times in one Pencil. This is an essential improvement. I have no doubt, from the very pleasing manner in which your new Pencils work, that they will have a public preference, and afford you that reward which your exertions merit. I am, Sir, most sincerely yours, R. MARSH. Dear Sir, Bristol, Jan. 3, 1824. I have given your Pencils a trial, and am happy to say, that they have . given me great satisfaction. They work with facility and mellowness, and are remarkably free from those gritty particles which are so annoying in the generality of what has been esteemed the best prepared lead. I am, dear Sir, GEORGE HOLMES. 1. View Of The New Lodge, RICHMOND PARK, THE SEAT OF VISCOUNT --- THE ROYAL OBSERVATORY, GREENWICH PARK 3. LADIES' PROMENADE DRESS .151 5.
