Catalogue of the collection of paintings at High Legh Hall, the seat of Lieut.-Col. Henry Cornwall Legh, J.P., D.L. for Cheshire
A privately printed 1900 catalogue of paintings at High Legh Hall in Cheshire, compiled by Joseph H. Carter for Lieut.-Col. Henry Cornwall Legh and issued in Birmingham by Achilles Taylor. The four plates are photographic reproductions of European old master paintings, showing a genre interior with a seated woman and figures, a Madonna and Child with a young John and a bearded saint, a half-length Christ at a column with a kneeling donor, and Salome with the head of John the Baptist. Their sepia tones and dark grounds suggest a tonal study source for designers seeking Renaissance and Baroque figure groupings.
