A catalogue of a collection of pictures & drawings by old and modern masters, the property of a gentleman, by order of executors, and from other sources, engravings and prints ..
An auction catalogue issued in London in 1915 by the firm Robinson, Fisher & Co. for the sale of a gentleman's pictures, drawings and prints, with its plates reproducing furniture offered alongside the paintings. The photographs show a chair back, a pair of chairs, a sideboard with an oval mirror, and a carved armchair with a caned seat. A designer could take from them the plain, tailored Hepplewhite-style forms, with shield backs, tapered legs and inlaid veneer panels.
