Mural painting in America; the Scammon lectures, delivered before the Art institute of Chicago, March, 1912, and since greatly enlarged, by Edwin Howland Blashfield;
Edwin Howland Blashfield's expanded Scammon lectures on American mural painting, delivered at the Art Institute of Chicago in 1912 and published by Scribner's in 1913 for artists, architects, and students of decoration. Halftone plates reproduce allegorical wall and ceiling panels in lunette, pendentive, and rectangular formats, with robed personifications, processional groupings, and painted ornamental borders that designers can mine for framing shapes and figure arrangements.
