University prints. Series B. Early Italian art; 500 plates to accompany Outlines for the study of art, volume 1
A teaching portfolio of 500 halftone study plates issued by the University Prints of Boston in 1916, keyed to H. H. Powers's Outlines for the Study of Art and sold to college art-history classes. The plates reproduce early Italian frescoes, altarpieces and panel paintings in dense, often murky grey halftone, giving designers haloed saints, enthroned Madonnas, crowded narrative groups, Gothic arcades and patterned gold grounds.
