Catalogue of the permanent collection of paintings and drawings
A 1900 catalogue of the permanent paintings and drawings of the City Art Gallery in Leeds, England, published for visitors and students of British art. The plates are sepia reproductions of landscape watercolours and oil paintings by artists such as Paul de Wint, Gainsborough, Richard Wilson and John Sell Cotman, showing pastoral views, rocky streams, castle ruins and ploughed fields. A designer might draw on their soft tonal washes, layered distant hills and quiet rural compositions.
