Illustrated catalogue [of] a loan collection of pictures by old masters and other painters : under the auspices of the Copley society, Copley hall, Boston, Mass

Copley Society (Boston, Mass.) · 1903 · [Boston : Press of G. H. Ellis co.] · 5 pictures

An 1903 illustrated catalogue published in Boston by the Copley Society, listing a loan exhibition of old master and other paintings shown at Copley Hall for a general art-viewing public. The pictures are reproductions of paintings and a photographed print: a romantic ruined-castle landscape drawing, a sepia photograph of a rural road with figures, a 1900s newspaper-style engraving of a large department store with horse carriages, and a shaded oval portrait of a man in powdered hair and cravat, which together show how tonal wash, engraving and photogravure rendered paintings on the page.
