Catalogue of the ... annual Exhibition of the Philadelphia Society of Etchers : held at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts
An 1883 exhibition catalogue from the Philadelphia Society of Etchers, held at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, presenting works by its members in Philadelphia. The pictures are etchings in fine, loose hatched lines with soft grey tonal shading, showing rural cottages, a wooded river scene, a city skyline with a rail track, and a rocky coastline. A designer might take from them the economy of line and atmospheric tone that suits landscape sketches.
