A catalogue of the W. P. Wilstach art collection, published in Philadelphia in 1893 by the Commissioners of Fairmount Park for visitors to the collection. Its plates are black-and-white photographic reproductions of nineteenth-century European paintings, shown on cream mounts with printed captions. The pictures are landscapes and genre scenes with figures, rendered in soft tonal greys, useful for a designer studying atmospheric tonal composition and sketched figure groups.
