Catalogue of A. Da Prato and Co. : importers and manufacturers of plaster cast reproductions from antique, medieval, and modern sculpture : subjects of every description for art schools : edition of 1900.
A 1900 trade catalogue from A. Da Prato and Co. of Charlestown, Massachusetts, printed by Rockwell and Churchill, listing plaster cast reproductions of antique, medieval, and modern sculpture sold to American art schools and drawing classes. The 171 halftones show single casts against black grounds: profile relief heads, busts on ornamented pedestals, torsos, putti, and architectural ornament, giving designers isolated white forms with hard shadows that cut cleanly for silhouettes and collage.
