Catalogue of high-class modern pictures and water-colour drawings of H.T. Morton, Esq., deceased, Mrs. Frank, deceased, the property of a gentleman, and from numerous other sources
An 1899 London auction catalogue from Christie, Manson & Woods, listing high-class modern pictures and water-colour drawings from the estates of H.T. Morton and Mrs. Frank and other private sources. The single picture is not a sale illustration but a bookplate-style ex libris design: an ice axe leaning across a mountain slope above a beetle in an oval frame, with the words ex libris and a ribbon scroll at the foot, rendered in bold black-and-white line work that a designer could borrow for emblematic labels or vignettes.
