A catalogue of the Fine Art and Industrial exhibition, at Cardiff, 1881
A catalogue of the 1881 Fine Art and Industrial Exhibition held at the Drill Hall in Cardiff, Wales, published in Cardiff by D. Duncan, with its plates reproducing 17th-century portrait engravings of men in lace collars and cloaks. The engravings are plain black-and-white line work on cream paper, with small Latin and Dutch inscriptions under each sitter; a designer could draw on their formal collars, flowing hair and framed-oval composition, with the caption blocks as a model for period typography.
