Guide du Musée Frans Hals de Harlem / par J.O. Kronig.
A 1910 guidebook to the Frans Hals Museum in Haarlem, written by J.O. Kronig and published by E.F. Bohn for visitors to the Dutch collection. Its pictures are halftone reproductions of 17th-century Dutch group portraits and genre scenes, showing seated figures in dark dress with large white collars and a tavern interior with figures in motion. A designer could take from them the strong tonal contrast of black costume against white ruffs and the compositional logic of crowded group arrangements.
