Leitch was a watercolorist and illustrator whose father, William Leighton Leitch, served Queen Victoria and her daughters as drawing-master for almost twenty years. This popular manual went through nine editions and was aimed at amateurs, its progressive approach likely influenced by the senior Leitch’s extensive teaching experience.
