Catalogue of the A.T. Stewart collection of paintings, sculptures, and other objects of art
This is an 1887 sale catalogue of the A.T. Stewart collection of paintings, sculptures and art objects, issued in New York by the American Art Association for prospective buyers and collectors. The four plates are rotated sideways on the page, and their captioned engravings show interior and street genre scenes with figures, tables and doorways. A designer could draw on their dense tonal handling, with strong light falling into dark rooms and crowded groupings of people.
