Catalogue of an exhibition of war posters and lithographs : January 12th to February 3rd, 1918

Albright Art Gallery (Buffalo, N.Y.) · 1918 · Buffalo : Buffalo Fine Arts Academy, Albright Art Gallery · 2 pictures

An exhibition catalogue issued by the Albright Art Gallery in Buffalo, New York, in 1918, listing war posters and lithographs shown to a general public audience. The first picture is a line drawing of a columned classical building with a pediment, a tree at left, and a seated figure on the steps, while the second is a rotated photograph of a stone building and tree-lined path. A designer might take from the drawing its bold black hatching and crisp architectural outline, useful for stylized civic or memorial graphics.
