Descriptive catalogue of the loan collection of pictures
A descriptive catalogue of paintings lent to the Guildhall Art Gallery, published in London by the Corporation of London in 1894 and compiled by A. G. Temple for collectors and art students. Its pictures are small black-and-white ornamental devices: scrolled cartouches, acanthus leaves, and a central medallion framing an oval panel, drawn in crisp line and hatched engraving. A designer could borrow their symmetrical scroll structure, centred emblem and flourish-ended horizontal layout for cartouches, dividers and monogram frames.
