Catalogue of the fifty-third annual exhibition of the American Water Color Society
An exhibition catalogue issued in New York in 1920 by the American Watercolor Society for its fifty-third annual show, presenting reproductions of American watercolour paintings to a art-trade and collector audience. The four plates show a sunlit street scene with a café and figures, a cow resting on rocks under leafy branches, a dark mountain above a river with a steam train, and a seated woman with a child in a sunlit interior. A designer might take loose, tonal washes and strong dark-light contrast from them for atmospheric scenes.
