Museum Willet Holthuysen · 1901 · Amsterdam : Stads-Drukkerij · 4 pictures

A 1901 Dutch catalogue from Amsterdam's Stads-Drukkerij recording the art objects of the Willet-Holthuysen collection, the private assembly of Abraham Willet (1825-1888) later housed as a museum. Its photographs are black-and-white halftones of ceramics, ornate metalwork and sculpture set against dark backgrounds. A designer might take from them the tonal range of glazed vessels, the scrollwork and figural decoration of decorative objects, and the period staging of collector's display.
