Katalog der ... Ausstellung der Berliner Secession, Berlin
An exhibition catalogue issued in 1899 in Berlin by the Berliner Secession, the progressive artists' association, published by P. Cassirer for visitors to its show of German art. The plates are rotated halfway-tone reproductions of paintings, each with a printed caption in German beneath it. Their figure groups, interiors and garden scenes show late nineteenth-century academic and naturalist painting, useful for a designer studying period tonal realism and sepia-toned reproduction.
