Catalogus der tentoonstelling van schilderijen van overleden meesters (werkende leden) : ter gelegenheid van het 50 jarig hestaan van het genootschap, april 1897
This is a Dutch exhibition catalogue of paintings by deceased members of the Pulchri Studio art society in The Hague, published by Mouton & Co. in 1897 to mark the society's fiftieth anniversary. Its pictures are a run of halftone portrait photographs of male members, head-and-shoulders poses in dark coats set against soft oval vignettes with plain light backgrounds, and a designer could take from them a model for restrained, period-true formal portraiture, with strong dark-light contrast and a stately oval framing device.
