Italian art; an illustrated souvenir of the exhibition of Italian art at Burlington House, London.
An illustrated souvenir catalogue issued in London in 1930 by the Royal Academy of Arts for its exhibition of Italian art at Burlington House, printed for the exhibition's executive committee. The pages are gravure reproductions of paintings and sculptures, numbered and captioned with artist, subject and lender. A designer might take from them the restrained tonal range of old master panels, with Madonnas, saints and portraits set in tight rectangular plates on plain grey-white pages.
