A preparatory drawing labeled for a work titled "The teaching" sets this sheet apart as a working study rather than a finished print. Artists and illustrators of the 19th and early 20th centuries often made such drawings to settle composition, proportion, and detail before transferring a design to an engraving, lithograph, or woodblock. The architectural subject suggests the artist needed the buildings to look accurate, since readers of illustrated periodicals expected settings to be recognizable. Sketches like this reveal the decisions behind the finished image, including what was kept, changed, or dropped.
