Katalog der Österr. Jubiläums-Kunstausstellung in Wien
This 1908 exhibition catalogue was published in Vienna by the Genossenschaft der bildenden Künstler Wiens for the Austrian Jubilee Art Exhibition, and it reproduces paintings by Austrian artists as halftone plates. The plates show portraits of men in dark, hatted or suited attire rendered in soft tonal brown ink, with one scene printed sideways and a painted group of figures in cloaks. A designer might take from them the restrained, low-contrast tonality of early twentieth-century academic portraiture and its use of oval vignettes and dark backgrounds.
