Catalogue of the private collection of paintings belonging to Peter A. Schemm
A 1901 Philadelphia catalogue of Peter A. Schemm's private collection of paintings, compiled by E. A. Kopp and printed by Beck Engraving, with halftone plates reproducing the works for collectors and dealers. The four plates show a misty landscape with trees, a windmill beside a village road, an interior genre scene of figures gathered at a table by a hearth, and a formal portrait of a young girl in a jeweled headdress and dark gown with white collar. A designer might take from them the soft tonal range of pre-1900 halftone reproduction and the stark contrast between painted landscape and interior scenes.
