The Catalogue of the ... annual exhibition at the Carnegie Institute
An exhibition catalogue issued by the Carnegie Institute in Pittsburgh in 1900, listing paintings shown at its annual exhibition and the artists who made them. The pictures are small halftone portraits of the exhibiting painters, each captioned with a name, so the book serves as a record of who was showing. A designer could take from it the plain, formal convention of a row of uniform head-and-shoulders portraits in a grid with captions beneath.
