Catalogue of the loan exhibition of portraits for the benefit of the Orthopædic dispensary and hospital, at the American Art Galleries ... New York, beginning November 18th ... under the management of the American Art Association, New York, 1903
An 1903 exhibition catalogue issued by the American Art Association in New York, listing loaned portraits for the benefit of an orthopaedic dispensary and hospital. The pictured plate is unrelated to portraiture: an Otis Elevator Company advertisement titled Progress of the Elevator, showing a tall Flatiron-style skyscraper among smaller city buildings with a lettered panel listing hydraulic, electric and steam elevator types. A designer might take its engraved skyscraper rendering, dense sans-serif panel typography and early twentieth-century commercial layout.
