Offizieller Katalog der Münchener Jahres-Ausstellung ... im kgl. Glaspalast
An 1898 exhibition catalogue from the Munich Annual Exhibition held in the Royal Glass Palace, issued by the Munich Artists' Cooperative for visitors and collectors of German academic painting. Its plates are black-and-white halftone reproductions of paintings, each with an artist's name and a German title printed in the margin, several shown rotated on the page. The pictures include a dramatic figure scene with a rearing horse, a farmstead beside a canal, a mounted group on a snowy road, and a mother dog with pups in tall grass; a designer might take their dense tonal contrast and strong diagonal compositions as models for dramatic monochrome imagery.
