Katalog der Älteren Pinakothek zu München.
A 1922 German catalogue of the Alte Pinakothek in Munich, published by Die Pinakothek for art-historical readers, reproducing European paintings held in that collection. The pictures are halftone plates of old master works, several printed sideways, showing a genre scene with a seated woman and a child, a dark crucifixion by Rembrandt, and a formal family group by Cornelis de Vos. A designer might take from them the tonal range of dark grounds, dramatic single-source light, and the stiff ruffed-collar portrait poses of the period.
