Illustrated catalogue of paintings and other works of art at the opening exhibition, beginning June the second, eighteen hundred and ninety-seven in the galleries of the new museum building of the Brooklyn Institute of Arts and Sciences
An 1897 exhibition catalogue published in Brooklyn, New York, by the Brooklyn Museum to list paintings and works of art shown at the opening of its new galleries for the public. The two pictures are decorative headpieces: a large ornamental display letterform reading WEBER with a swash initial, and a small tailpiece of a pitcher or vessel with crossed brushes or pens among scrolling foliage. A designer might take from them the flourished initial, the open scrollwork, and the way a dark display capital is balanced against fine line ornament.
