 Oscuro, as Practised by Albert Durer, Hugo di Carpi, &c., and the Application of It to 

 the Making Paper Hangings of Taste, Duration, and Elegance. London, 1754. 



Written by Jackson to promote his wallpapers, it repeats some of his asser- 

 tions in the Enquiry but gives little detail concerning his career. It is important 

 as an illustrated book and as an early document in the history of wallpaper. The 

 prints have suffered from the use of an inferior oil vehicle.
