Catalogue of the fifty-fourth annual exhibition of the American Water Color Society
An exhibition catalogue issued by the American Watercolor Society in New York in 1921, presenting the works shown at its fifty-fourth annual show. The reproductions are halftone plates of watercolours, several printed sideways on the page, with urban street scenes, a dim cave-like landscape, and a portrait of a woman in a wide-brimmed hat. A designer might take from them the soft wash tonality and loose atmospheric handling typical of early twentieth-century American watercolour.
