Catalogue of the English, German, French, and Italian chromos, lithographs, engravings, oil paintings, decalomanie, drawing-books, &c., &c., &c. of the importation and publication of Max Jacoby & Zeller.
A trade catalogue issued in 1872 by the New York importers Max Jacoby & Zeller, printed by Tobitt & Bunce, listing English, German, French and Italian chromos, lithographs, engravings and drawing-books for dealers and buyers of decorative prints. The single picture is an ornate monogram-style emblem with a stylised letter form, flanked by scrolling flourishes and hatched shading, showing how nineteenth-century trade printers framed a maker's mark; a designer could borrow its interlaced lettering, band-like hatching and symmetrical crest layout for a heraldic or monogram logo.
