Notes descriptive of the portrait of J.M.W. Turner, R.A. painted by himself, and examples of his pictures and sketches, now on exhibition
An 1895 exhibition catalogue from Freshwater, Isle of Wight, by Robert Walker, describing a self-portrait by J.M.W. Turner and examples of his pictures and sketches on show. The plates are photographic reproductions of Turner's landscape studies, mounted one or two per page. For a designer they offer Turner's loose, atmospheric handling of trees, water and stormy skies, shown in tonal monochrome.
