Art and progress
Art and Progress is a 1909 art survey published in New York by the American Federation of Arts, drawn from the Getty Research Institute's holdings and aimed at a general audience of art readers. Its plates are black-and-white halftone reproductions of paintings: a genre scene of a woman and child on a sofa, a seated society portrait by Sargent, a row of figures in a sunlit street, and sea scenes showing ship interiors and a submarine on rough water. A designer could draw on the tonal range, the dark interiors and the stormy marine compositions.
