Exhibition of the works of Vassili Verestchagin : illustrated descriptive catalogue / [tr. by Delmar Morgan]

Grosvenor Gallery · 1887 · [London : Whiting] · 27 pictures

An 1887 illustrated descriptive catalogue published in London by Whiting for the Grosvenor Gallery exhibition of paintings by the Russian war painter Vasily Vereshchagin, translated by Delmar Morgan. The pictures are rotated halftone reproductions of his canvases, numbered in the corners, showing mountain and winter landscapes, a stone-walled mountain path, and small figures on a plain with a building beneath a sky. A designer could take from them the compositional habit of placing tiny figures against vast terrain and the tonal range of grey, snowy, and sunlit scenes.
