Annual exhibition : catalogue
This is a catalogue of the 1897 annual painting exhibition at the Carnegie Institute Museum of Art in Pittsburgh, issued for visitors to that show. Its plates reproduce paintings by British and American artists such as Robert Reid, J. J. Shannon and Walter MacEwen, shown as half-tone prints with numbered captions. The pictures are soft, dim figure studies of women in interiors, gardens and Dutch dress, plus one outdoor scene of soldiers guarding prisoners, offering a designer examples of tonal portraiture and Edwardian costume.
