Artist Obituary Scrapbooks: Volume [2] (1915-29)

Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York, N.Y.), D'Hervilly, A. B. de St. M · 1915 · [multiple] · 5 pictures

This is a scrapbook of newspaper obituary clippings about artists, compiled in the 1915-29 period by the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, with the clippings pasted onto album pages rather than published as a conventional book. The pictures show yellowed newsprint columns, headlines and small portrait photographs arranged in dense, overlapping layouts, which a designer might take as a model for collage-style editorial pages or vintage ephemera textures.
