The work of John S. Sargent, R.A.
A 1903 London and New York monograph on the painter John Singer Sargent, issued by William Heinemann and Charles Scribner's Sons with an introductory note by Mrs. Meynell, collecting his portraits and figure studies as photogravure plates. The pictures are tonal, dark-toned reproductions of portraits and a crowded street or festival scene, with generous cream margins and a single plate per page, showing a designer how dark grounds and restrained tonal range carry a figure.
