Catalogue of a collection of oil paintings and water-color drawings by American and European artists, and of Oriental art objects, belonging to T. E. Waggaman
This is an 1893 auction catalogue printed by the De Vinne Press in New York, listing oil paintings, water-colour drawings and Japanese art objects from the collection of T. E. Waggaman for prospective buyers. Its three pictures are black-and-white decorative friezes of the kind used as headers and tailpieces: one of dragons and a rabbit, one of owls and flowers, and one of sea horses and tritons. A designer might take from them the way a dark ground with white scrolling foliage and animals works as a narrow horizontal border.
