Catalog of a collection of water-color drawings : loaned to the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, and on exhibition December 3, 1877 to January 12, 1878
A catalogue issued in 1877 by the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in Philadelphia, listing a loaned collection of water-colour drawings for its December 1877 to January 1878 exhibition, aimed at visitors and collectors. The single picture is a sheet of small numbered head studies in pen or pencil, showing men in period collars, hats and beards in profile and three-quarter views. A designer might take from it the idea of a numbered character-type sheet, with varied faces and expressions arranged as a set.
