Art and criticism : monographs and studies
Theodore Child's collected essays on nineteenth-century painters and art criticism, issued by Harper in New York in 1892 for general readers following the Paris and London exhibition scene. Ninety-one plates reproduce contemporary salon paintings as wood engravings and halftones — reclining draped figures, peasants with scythes, farmyards, classical groups in landscape — offering soft tonal greys, figure poses and open-air backgrounds for collage and reference.
