This 1911 auction catalogue from the Anderson Galleries in New York offers etchings and drypoints from the collection of Judson S. Dutcher, with the lots numbered and described in print beside each plate. Its pictures are monochrome etchings and drypoints by Whistler, Zorn and Anders Zorn-era artists, with rough dark hatching, loose sketched contours and bold blacks against pale margins, suggesting how a designer might borrow economical line, tonal contrast and spare page layout.
