Catalogue of the collection of pictures and bronzes in the possession of Mr. Otto Beit; introduction and descriptions
A privately printed 1913 London catalogue of Sir Otto Beit's collection of paintings and bronzes, with an introduction and descriptions by Wilhelm von Bode, issued for collectors and art scholars. The four plates are photogravure-style reproductions of old master paintings, mostly interiors and figure groups, shown sideways on their pages. A designer could take from them the dense tonal range of dark shadows against soft light, and the close, candlelit grouping of figures.
