"Birket Foster, R.W.S." by H. M. Cundall is an artistic biography focusing on the life and work of renowned British watercolour artist Myles Birket Foster, written during the early 20th century. The book likely aims to celebrate Foster's contributions to the world of art, particularly his skill in capturing serene rural landscapes and charming domestic scenes, which resonate with the British public. The content of the book details Birket Foster's artistic journey from an early apprenticeship in wood-engraving to his flourishing career as a watercolour painter. Cundall explores Foster's techniques, emphasizing his meticulous attention to detail and unique approach to composition, which distinguished him from his contemporaries. The narrative covers Foster's travels across England and Europe, focusing on the picturesque settings that inspired his artwork, including Surrey and Venice.
