Memorial catalogue of paintings by old and modern masters, collected by Edward R. Bacon;
A privately printed 1919 catalogue of paintings from the collection of Edward R. Bacon, compiled by James Bliss Townsend and Wendell Stanton Howard and published in New York for Virginia P. Bacon. Its plates are halftone reproductions of old and modern master portraits, with a 1919 printing that suits designers studying early twentieth-century portrait reproduction. The four pictures show seated and standing women in dark or pale gowns, feathered hats and garden or landscape backdrops, a fashion-plate look for period costume references; the third plate is printed sideways, so rotate it before use.
