A child's guide to pictures
Charles H. Caffin's 1908 art-appreciation primer for young readers, published in New York by Baker & Taylor, explaining how to look at paintings. The 22 plates are soft halftone reproductions of paintings — misty lake shores, backlit tree canopies, harbor views, and a lunette of grouped figures — usable as low-contrast tonal backgrounds, vignette silhouettes, and sepia atmosphere.
