Annual exhibition of paintings and sculpture by prominent painters and sculptors
An annual exhibition catalogue issued by the Poland Spring Art Gallery at the Ricker family's Maine resort hotel in 1904, listing paintings and sculpture for summer guests and prospective buyers. The plates are small halftone reproductions of oil paintings, heavy on society portraits and tonal landscapes, where deep shadow swallows the background and a face, collar or sleeve carries the light; useful for murky vignettes, oval framed busts and high-contrast grey scale.
