Official illustrated catalogue, fine arts exhibit, United States of America, Paris exposition of 1900
An official illustrated catalogue of the United States fine arts section at the Paris Exposition of 1900, issued by the federal commission and printed in Boston for an international audience of collectors and critics. Its plates reproduce American portraits of the period, shown as half-length and full-length studies in dark, softly modelled tones with a restrained, formal composition a designer could borrow for period portraiture.
