Art of the old world in New Spain and The mission days of Alta California
A survey of Spanish colonial religious art in Mexico and the California missions, written by Mary Gordon Holway and published in San Francisco by A.M. Robertson in 1922 for American readers interested in mission history and antiquities. Halftone photographs record carved and gilded retablos, altar rails, saints' statues in niches, sunburst ornament, and weathered adobe doorways, with coarse grain and heavy shadow useful for texture, silhouette tracing, and architectural ornament reference.
