Catalogue of the very important collection of modern pictures and water colour drawings, and a few pictures by old masters, of Sir John Fowler, Bart. ..
An 1899 auction catalogue issued in London by Christie, Manson & Woods for the sale of Sir John Fowler's collection of modern pictures, water colours and some old master works. The plates reproduce landscape and marine paintings and drawings in halftone, mostly rotated on the page, and show tonal range from soft grey wash to dense foliage and dark masses. A designer could take from them a study in atmospheric tone, loose wash edges and the way broad masses of light and shadow carry a composition.
