The Salon; a collection of the choicest paintings recently executed by distinguished European artists ..
This is a late nineteenth-century American publication of engraved reproductions of recent European paintings, edited by Charles Carroll and issued in New York by S.L. Hall in 1881, drawing on the Paris Salon. The four plates shown are rotated on the page and include a cavalry charge, a riverside encampment, a distant town, and a horse-drawn carriage on a wooded road; a designer can take from them loose, tonal pen-and-ink hatching that suggests paintings translated into line.
