Catalogue of engravings, drawings in pencil & watercolour, and oil paintings ... the property of W.S. Brough, Esq. ... of Sir Harry Malet, Bt. ..
An auction catalogue issued by Sotheby, Wilkinson & Hodge in London in 1920, listing engravings, drawings and oil paintings from the collections of W. S. Brough and Sir Harry Malet for prospective bidders. The pictures are black-and-white reproductions of old master prints and a portrait engraving, each on a plain page with a lot or number caption beneath. A designer might take their framed oval portraits, dense hatching and laurel-wreath borders as models for period typography and vignette layouts.
