Das Museum : eine Anleitung zum Genuss der Werke bildender Kunst
A German art appreciation guide from 1896, compiled by Wilhelm Spemann, Richard Graul and Richard Stettiner for Berlin publisher W. Spemann and general readers of art. Its plates reproduce paintings and a Pompeian wall fresco in grey halftone, with several shown rotated on the page. A designer could take from them the dramatic diagonal compositions of a mounted knight in a landscape, a Watteau-style pastoral group, and the frieze-like arrangement of a ritual scene.
