Archäologie

Koepp, Friedrich, 1860- · 1919 · Berlin und Leipzig, G. J. Göschen · 22 pictures

Archäologie is a German-language archaeology handbook by Friedrich Koepp, published in Berlin and Leipzig by G. J. Göschen in 1919, written as a student-level survey of ancient art. Its plates are halftone photographs and line drawings of classical reliefs, a bronze statue and a decorated cylindrical vessel, with captions citing their sources. A designer could draw on the carved frieze compositions, stacked narrative registers and crowded figure groups for classical ornament and layout ideas.
