The master painters of Britain
The Master Painters of Britain, a 1890 London survey of British painters by Gleeson White, published by Caxton for general art readers and collectors. The four plates are halftone reproductions of paintings, shown rotated on the page, and the captions are too faint to read at this size. A designer could take their dense tonal contrast and crowded interior compositions as models for dramatic, moody monochrome imagery.
