Catalogue of the permanent collections of sculpture, original paintings and other works of art
A 1919 catalogue of the permanent collections of the Buffalo Fine Arts Academy, printed in Buffalo for the Academy and listing its sculpture, paintings and other works of art for visitors and patrons. The four plates show a dim, painterly garden scene with a figure and fountain, a sideways photograph of a house beside a snowy road with bare trees, a seated man in a dark suit before framed paintings, and a columned hall of white marble statues. A designer might take its soft tonal haze, its classical colonnade layout and its sepia halftone quality for period display or gallery imagery.
