An exhibition of early American paintings / (lent by the Ehrich Galleries)
An exhibition catalogue issued in 1918 by the Albright Art Gallery in Buffalo, New York, published under the Buffalo Fine Arts Academy and aimed at visitors to its show of early American paintings lent by the Ehrich Galleries. The first picture is the academy's circular seal, a palette and brushes inside a ring of lettering, and the second is an engraved view of the gallery's columned classical facade with a tree and a few figures on the steps. A designer could take from them a restrained neoclassical civic emblem style, with a seal device framed by ring lettering and a clean, stately architectural line drawing.
