About the Artist

Franklin Booth (July 8, 1874 – August 25, 1948) was an American artist known for his detailed pen-and-ink illustrations. His unique style was formed by his early practice of copying wood engraving illustrations. His skill as a draftsman and recognizable style made him a popular magazine illustrator in the early 20th-century.

The LoRA

This LoRA was created using 40 high-resolution scans of some of Booth's best work and can add interesting line-shading effects and other aspects of Booth's style to your images. It's a work in progress, and feedback, including suggestions, is welcome.

Settings

• Dimensions: Bigger images will generally require lower strength - at lower resolutions it seems like SD is combining lines into a gray blob. 512 in either dimension should be a minimum, and if you can do 768+ (with or without "Kohya Shrink Wrap"), you will likely get better results.
• CFG: the lower the CFG, the less strength you will need to see the effect. I suggest starting at 3.5 and going down from there if possible. 6 is probably the highest I've used with this.
• Fighting/Working With the Style: the more old-timey, pen-and-inky, and realistic your prompt is, the lower the strength you will need. Concepts with a lot of round shapes will need a higher strength. If you add "black and white engraving" to your prompt it's usually like adding +0.5 to the strength without losing image quality, so give that a try if the strength gets to high and your image is suffering
• Strength: taking all that into effect, you will usually need a weight of between 0.5 and 1.5 to get a good effect with this LoRA. Start at 1 and see how it goes

Trigger words

You should use black and white engraving to trigger the image generation.
