Catalogue of the Mortimer Menpes collection of etchings, dry points and lithographs, by J. McNeill Whistler, exhibited at the Leicester Galleries, Leicester Square, London
This 1903 exhibition catalogue, compiled by painter Mortimer Menpes, lists the Whistler etchings, drypoints and lithographs he owned and showed at the Leicester Galleries in London. The picture is only the dealer's advertisement page on the front matter, with a printed letterpress layout of centred capitals, blackletter and italic lines. A designer might borrow its stacked hierarchy of small caps, decorative blackletter and rule-and-ornament spacing for a formal gallery announcement.
