Catalogue of the permanent collection of pictures and other works of art
This is a 1914 museum catalogue from the Mappin Art Gallery in Sheffield, listing the permanent collection of paintings and other artworks for visitors and curators. Its plates are black-and-white halftone reproductions of British academy paintings, several printed sideways across the page. A designer could draw on their dense crowd compositions, such as the Westminster procession, the Wellington march and the cattle scene, for historical group staging and tonal contrast.
