Catalogue de luxe of the Department of Fine Arts, Panama-Pacific International Exposition
A two-volume exhibition catalogue for the Fine Arts Department of the 1915 Panama-Pacific International Exposition in San Francisco, edited by John E. D. Trask and J. Nilsen Laurvik and issued by Paul Elder and Company for fairgoers, collectors and the press. The plates are soft grey halftones of exhibited paintings and sculpture — reclining nudes, draped figure groups, fishing boats and crowds on a beach, snow-covered village lanes — useful as tonal photographic textures, muted figure silhouettes and captioned plate layouts.
