Poetic thoughts, with pictures : paintings by members of the Artists' Fund Society of Philadelphia
An 1886 Philadelphia gift book published by J. B. Lippincott, pairing verse with reproductions of paintings by members of the Artists' Fund Society of Philadelphia. The pictures shown are tonal reproductions of landscapes: wooded river banks, quiet water, and soft evening skies rendered in grey and dark masses, with fine detail kept to foliage and reflections, offering a designer models for atmospheric, low-contrast tonal compositions and framing of water and trees.
