Catalogue of old and modern drawings and pictures ... drawings in pencil, pastel and watercolour ... oil paintings of the English and continental schools ..
This is an auction sale catalogue issued by Sotheby, Wilkinson & Hodge in London in 1923, listing old and modern drawings, pictures and oil paintings of English and continental schools from private collections. The four plates show reproductions of drawings and paintings, with a rotated harbour view and a portrait of a man and a woman holding a book. A designer could take from them the loose tonal wash of landscape sketches and the formal, dark-toned portrait composition typical of pre-1930s reproduction plates.
