Catalogue of the W. P. Wilstach collection : Memorial Hall

Philadelphia Museum of Art · 1922 · Philadelphia, Pa. : The Commissioners of Fairmount Park · 26 pictures

A 1922 museum catalogue from the Philadelphia Museum of Art, issued by the Fairmount Park Commissioners, reproducing paintings from the W. P. Wilstach collection in Memorial Hall for public readers and art students. The plates are black and white halftones, each printed on a separate page with a caption, and several are shown sideways. A designer could take compositional ideas from them: a mythological scene in a dark wooded setting, a waterfall among rocky trees, and a crowded still life of flowers, birds and a dog.
