Illustrated guide.
An illustrated guide issued in 1921 by the National Gallery in London, printed for H.M. Stationery Office and sold at the Gallery, reproducing its European paintings for visitors. The plates are halftone reproductions of Madonnas and devotional panels, including a Madonna and Child enthroned with saints, a Virgin nursing the Child with a book, a roundel of Madonna with two angels, and a half-length portrait of a woman in jewelled dress. A designer could draw on their gilded halos, carved architectural settings, and restrained gestures of tender devotion.
