Illustrated catalogue of an extensive collection of antique Chinese porcelains carved jade and other hard stones Greek and Roman glass miscellaneous cabinet specimens beautiful old vestments and important Flemish tapestries : being the property of Mr. Edson Bradley
This is an auction sale catalogue issued in New York in 1917 by the American Art Association for the collection of Edson Bradley, with Charles Lang Freer listed as a former owner. The plates show Flemish tapestries reproduced as monochrome halftones on cream paper, with the woven scenes printed as dark panels framed by floral and figural borders. A designer could draw on their dense foliage, tree canopies, and tightly packed border patterns for textile or pattern work.
