The art reader, prepared for supplementary reading in public and private schools, with illustrations of some of the masterpieces of painting, sculpture, and architecture
A supplementary school reader on art history by Patrick Edward Quinn, published by A. W. Elson & Co. in Boston in 1905 for pupils in American public and private schools. The plates are small halftone photographs of painting, sculpture, and architecture — ruined colonnades, pyramids and desert excavations, distant towered buildings across water — printed in soft grey tones that suit muted backgrounds, ghosted washes, or cropped architectural silhouettes.
