Landscape painting
Landscape Painting by Birge Harrison, published in New York by C. Scribner's Sons in 1909, a practical painter's guide to the subject held by the Getty Research Institute. The plates are halftone reproductions of paintings and photographs, each captioned with the artist's name and title, such as J. Alden Weir's New England Factory Village and Claude Monet's The Bridge at Argenteuil. The reproductions show riverside mills, snowy village streets, misty fields and bridges over water, useful to a designer for studying tonal masses, soft edges and how distant buildings recede into atmosphere.
