About this book

Mural Painting by F. Hamilton Jackson, 1904. The Edwardian muralist's handbook — back in print.

At the turn of the century, mural painting was the highest ambition of the decorative painter — public buildings, churches, and grand houses all wanted walls that told stories. Jackson's 1904 book is the working guide to that art: design for architectural spaces, color schemes for interiors, technique for large-scale wall painting, and the business of the mural commission.

The 290 pages make it one of the substantial titles on the shelf — a serious course in mural painting from the era when the trade was at its most ambitious. For decorative painters, restoration specialists, and students of the mural tradition, it is both instruction and inspiration: how the Edwardians composed for architecture, and how they executed at scale.

The mural painter's Edwardian bible, reproduced complete.

Back in print as a hardcover built to last on the shop shelf.

Details: 6×9" hardcover (case laminate), 290 pages, black and white interior, cream paper.

?? Please read before ordering — about print quality

This is a print-on-demand reprint of a scanned historical document. The pages were scanned from an original 1904 printing, and the print quality of your book reflects the condition of that original scan.

What that means in plain terms: you may see faded text, uneven inking, age spots, show-through from the back of pages, and other imperfections that were in the 1904 original or introduced by the scanning process. These are preserved as-is — they are not printing defects, and they are not something we can fix.

We are not responsible for the condition of the original source material. If you want a pristine modern typeset book, this isn't it. If you want the actual 1904 manual with all its character intact, you're in the right place.
