Catalogue of the Corcoran Gallery of Art
A 1903 catalogue of the Corcoran Gallery of Art, published in Washington, D.C. by the gallery itself, reproducing paintings and views from its collection for a museum-going public. The four plates shown are rotated on the page: an interior scene of cluttered furniture and figures, a hilltop castle village, a shadowy scene of figures in a dim room, and the ruins of the Parthenon with columns and a flight of steps. A designer could draw on the tonal contrast of the engraved plates and the layered detail in the interior scene.
