Catalogue des figurines en terre cuite du musée de la société archéologique d'Athènes

Martha, Jules, Archaiologikē Hetaireia. Mouseion · 1880 · Paris, E. Thorin · 10 pictures

A photographic plate catalogue of terracotta figurines from the Archaeological Society museum in Athens, compiled by Jules Martha and published in Paris by E. Thorin in 1880 for scholars of ancient Greek art. The photographs show standing draped female and male figures, mostly photographed singly against a pale ground, with one plate of three figures laid on their sides. A designer could take from them the simple, sculptural silhouettes of draped robes and the weathered, chalky surface of fired clay.
