Official catalogue of the fine arts exhibit, illustrated
Official illustrated catalogue of the fine arts exhibit at the Trans-Mississippi and International Exposition, printed by Klopp and Bartlett in Omaha in 1898 for fairgoers and buyers. Coarse halftone plates reproduce American landscape, marine, pastoral and interior paintings, giving designers grainy tonal skies, cattle and shore scenes, and soft-edged figure groups usable as textured backgrounds.
