A catalogue of old Dutch & Italian pictures, old English landscapes & portraits, modern pictures, water-colour drawings and artist proof and other engravings, from various sources ..
An 1921 auction catalogue issued in London by the firm of Foster, offering old Dutch and Italian pictures, old English landscapes and portraits, modern paintings, water-colours and engravings to prospective buyers and collectors. The plates reproduce paintings and prints in halftone, one captioned as a Sebastiano Ricci-style Italian scene. A designer could take from them the restrained tonal range of period salon painting, with its formal portrait poses, dense foliage, and architectural courtyard perspectives.
