[Pamphlets]

National Academy of Design (U.S. : 1828-1997) · 1831 · New-York : The Academy · 2 pictures

A set of pamphlets issued in 1831 by the National Academy of Design, an art institution in New York, collected for its art-school and exhibition public. The first picture is a circular seal showing three seated allegorical figures beneath a classical pediment, ringed by the words National Academy of Design and Instituted Jan. 1828; the second is a library bookplate from the Metropolitan Museum of Art. A designer could take the seal's ring-text layout and neoclassical allegory as a model for emblems and institutional marks.
