The appreciation of sculpture; a handbook
A 1904 New York handbook on sculpture by Russell Sturgis, aimed at general readers learning to appreciate sculpture. Its plates are black-and-white photographs of classical Greek and Roman reliefs, a figure of a seated man, and a Renaissance tomb monument in Paris. The pictures show carved drapery folds, twisting bodies and shallow relief composition, useful to a designer studying how sculptural form reads through light and shadow.
