Concerning the etchings of Mr. Whistler
A 1899 New York book by Joseph Pennell on the etchings of James McNeill Whistler, aimed at collectors and art lovers. Its plates are reproductions of Whistler's etchings and a portrait, each set in a plain border with a pencilled caption beneath. A designer might take the restrained grey tonal drawing, generous margins, and small centred captions as a model for a quiet, gallery-style catalogue layout.
