The Salon; a collection of the choicest paintings recently executed by distinguished European artists ..
The Salon is a New York art anthology of 1881, edited by Charles Carroll, reproducing paintings shown at the Paris Salon for a general American readership. Its pictures are black-and-white wood engravings after European paintings, with dense hatching, rotated pages, and strong dark masses that a designer could borrow for bold tonal composition and dramatic lighting.
