The Salon : a collection of the choicest paintings recently executed by distinguished European artists ...
This is an 1881 New York publication by Charles Carroll, issued by Samuel L. Hall, presenting reproductions of recent Paris Salon paintings by European artists for American readers interested in contemporary French art. The four plates are wood-engraved reproductions printed sideways on the page, showing a seated woman in a dark interior, a figure in a long gown beside a doorway, a rowing or punting scene with figures in a boat, and a wooded landscape with trees and a path. A designer could take from them the tonal crosshatching of nineteenth-century engraving and the strong contrast of dark figures against pale ground.
