Hand-book of a collection of Chinese porcelains loaned by James A. Garland
A hand-book of Chinese porcelains lent by collector James A. Garland, written by John Getz and published in New York by the Metropolitan Museum of Art in 1895 as a guide for exhibition visitors. The plates are numbered by display case and show porcelain vases, a covered jar, and bronze-like fittings in plain line engraving on cream paper. A designer could take their dense all-over floral and cloud scroll patterns, framed in panels, as ready reference for historical ornament.
