Catalogo delle belle arti : edizione illustrata
This is an illustrated catalogue of fine arts from the 1898 Esposizione generale italiana in Turin, published by Roux Frassati and held by the Getty Research Institute. The pictures are sepia-toned halftone reproductions of paintings, several printed sideways, with one showing a figure with a sheep by a fence, another a stormy sea breaking on rocks, another a mountain village, and another a woman in a shawl at a stone trough. A designer might take from them the soft, atmospheric naturalism and muted tonal palette typical of late nineteenth-century Italian painting.
