Second annual exhibition of the New York Water Color Club
This is a catalogue of the second annual exhibition of the New York Water Color Club, published by the club in New York in 1891 for its members and art-world visitors. The pictures are black-and-white line decorations: a seated classical woman within a laurel frame, a figure reclining on a stone bench, a rowing woman inside a roundel above a member list, and a banner with an hourglass and sun. A designer could take from them the Art Nouveau-era habit of framing allegorical figures in ornamental borders and tailpiece-style vignettes.
