The Works in sculpture of William Ordway Partridge, M.A. : with biographical sketch and illustrations of principal works

Partridge, William Ordway, 1861-1930 · 1914 · New York : John Lane · 15 pictures

A 1914 New York catalogue of the sculpture of William Ordway Partridge, with a biographical sketch, published by John Lane and written about the American sculptor himself. The pictures are photographs of his plaster or clay portrait busts and a standing figure, shot against dark or plain grounds with soft grey tonal range. A designer might take from them the sculptural habit of modelling faces with rough, visible tool marks and draped cloth folds that catch light.
