This 1908 catalogue from the Royal Academy of Arts in London covers its Winter exhibition of old master and deceased British paintings, plus water colours, for visitors to the gallery. The picture is a plain floor plan of the galleries, with rooms labelled for oil paintings, water colour room, vestibule, refreshment room and entrance, drawn in crisp black line on white with numbered walls. A designer could take its clean architectural layout and simple labelled diagram style as a model for wayfinding maps or schematic signage.
