Pictorial composition and the critical judgment of pictures; a handbook for students and lovers of art
Henry Rankin Poore's 1903 handbook on pictorial composition and art criticism, published in New York by Baker & Taylor for art students and amateur collectors. Halftone plates reproduce landscapes, figure groups and old-master sketches, plus diagrammatic sheets that reduce paintings to line schemes and tonal masses—useful for silhouette studies, dense crosshatched woodland textures, and grid-like arrangements of small framed vignettes.
