Catalogue of the ... annual Philadelphia water color exhibition
An exhibition catalogue issued in 1905 in Philadelphia by the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, with the Philadelphia Water Color Club and the Pennsylvania Society of Miniature Painters, recording American watercolours and miniatures. The pictures are halftone reproductions of landscapes, including a Long Island beach, a September haze scene by James Henry Moser, and a rocky sea view, plus a carved classical urn with draped figures. A designer might take from them the soft tonal layering of grey wash landscapes and the calm compositions of trees, sand and water.
