The Art world
The Art World is a 1916 illustrated book published in New York by Kalon Publishing Co., covering the decorative arts and arts for a general readership. Its pictures are halftone photographs of interiors, a Georgian-style house, a public hall and a seated man with a dulcimer-like instrument, all in plain black and white. A designer could take from them the restrained tonal range, warm wood and gray stone textures, and classical architectural detailing of the early twentieth century.
