Tafvelsamlingen på Wanås
A Swedish catalogue of the painting collection at Wanås castle, compiled by Georg Göthe and published in Stockholm in 1895, recording the castle's old master paintings with reproductions of individual works. The plates are halftone copies of Dutch and Flemish portraits and genre scenes, numbered in the catalogue, with captions naming the artists. A designer could draw on the stiff seventeenth-century portrait poses, large lace collars, dark interiors and the candlelit tavern-style genre scene shown here.
