Famous painters and paintings
A survey of European painters and their major works by Julia A. Shedd, published by Houghton, Mifflin in Boston and New York in 1900 for general readers and art students. The plates are soft halftone reproductions of Renaissance and Baroque paintings, mostly Madonna and Child groups and holy families in dark tonal fields, useful for grainy monochrome figure studies, drapery forms, and oval-framed portrait heads.
