Descriptive catalogue of the loan collection of pictures : prepared by the authority of the Library Committee of the Corporation of the city of London
A descriptive catalogue of paintings lent to the Corporation of London's Art Gallery, published in London in 1892 by the gallery itself for visitors and collectors of European painting. Its pictures are decorative horizontal bands of ornament: scrolling acanthus foliage, interlaced tendrils and a central rosette, with one framed panel of confronting grotesque creatures and volutes. A designer might take from them classical border strips, frieze proportions and engraved ornament for panels, dividers and headers.
