Illustrierter Katalog der Münchener Jahresausstellung von Kunstwerken aller Nationen im königl. Glaspalaste ..
This is an 1889 illustrated exhibition catalogue from the Munich annual art show held in the Glaspalast, published by Franz Hanfstaengl for art-world visitors and collectors. Its plates are halftone reproductions of paintings, shown rotated on the page, mostly interiors with figures in domestic or rustic settings and one night scene with a reclining figure. A designer might take from them the dim, tonal lighting of late nineteenth-century genre painting, with figures grouped around tables, hearths and windows.
