Catalogue of the Collier collection, an important collection of original drawings and paintings by distinguished American painters and illustrators, works especially executed for and exclusively reproduced in Collier's weekly, on exhibition November 1 to 8, 1905, [at] the American Art Galleries

1905 · New York : P.F. Collier & Son · 12 pictures

This 1905 exhibition catalogue from P.F. Collier & Son, New York, documents original drawings and paintings by American illustrators made for Collier's Weekly, a popular magazine. Its pictures are halftone portraits of the artists at work in studios, seated at easels, drawing boards and paintings, with captions naming each illustrator. A designer might take from them the working setup of early magazine illustrators: easels, drafting tables, lamps and cluttered studio backdrops.
