Exhibition of the works of the old masters, associated with ..
An 1870 exhibition catalogue from the Royal Academy of Arts in London, printed by Clowes and Sons, that records the gallery layout for shows of old master and British painting. Its pictures are plain architectural floor plans of the galleries, with rooms numbered and labelled as oil paintings, water colour room, vestibule and entrance, drawn in black line with thick walls. A designer could take from them a clean diagrammatic method for showing room arrangement and circulation.
