The Art review
The Art Review is an 1890 London periodical published by Walter Scott for a general art-reading public, drawing on the Getty Research Institute's holdings. Its plates are rotated halftone reproductions of paintings and reviews; the first shows armoured figures clashing in a battle scene, and the last a pen-and-ink angel beside a robed figure with an ornamental initial. A designer might take from them the dramatic diagonal massing of crowds and the contrast of dense shadow against open sky.
