Archäologie

Koepp, Friedrich, 1860- · 1919 · Berlin und Leipzig, G. J. Göschen · 17 pictures

Archäologie is a German-language archaeology handbook by Friedrich Koepp, published in Berlin and Leipzig by G. J. Göschen in 1919, written for students and scholars of ancient art. Its plates set photographs and drawings of Greek pediments, Roman relief sculpture and a fragment of building stone beside one another, so a designer can study how carved figures fill triangular and narrow frames. The pediment drawings show crowded figure groups arranged to fit a sloping field, a useful reference for composing dense scenes within awkward shapes.
