Charles Conder / by Martin Birnbaum
A 1911 monograph on the English painter Charles Conder by Martin Birnbaum, published in New York by the Berlin Photographic Company and made with photogravure plates from Berlin. It was aimed at art collectors and exhibition audiences. The single picture is a sepia photographic portrait of a moustached man in a dark jacket and tie beside a table of paintbrushes and a metal pot, and a designer could take its warm tonal range and quiet studio setting as a model for an artist portrait.
