Das holländische Porträt des XVII. Jahrhunderts
Franz Dülberg's 1923 Leipzig survey of seventeenth-century Dutch portraiture, published by E.A. Seemann, is a scholarly art-history book with black-and-white halftone plates of paintings, each captioned with its artist, title and collection. The reproductions are rotated sideways on the page, so group portraits of civic guards, regents and family sitters are best viewed turned. A designer might take from them the dark ground, candlelit faces and stiff collars and lace caps of Dutch Golden Age portrait painting.
