Catalogue of a memorial exhibition of water colors by Frederic Crowninshield
A 1919 exhibition catalogue issued by the Albright Art Gallery in Buffalo, New York, memorialising the painter Frederic Crowninshield, who died in 1918. The pictures are a rotated photograph of a leafless tree beside a building, a pen-and-ink drawing of a classical columned temple with a stepped terrace, and a formal bust-length portrait of Crowninshield in profile with a caption giving his dates. A designer might take the restrained monochrome reproduction style, with its stark tonal contrast and classical architectural line work.
