Fruehgriechische Bildhauerschulen by Ernst Langlotz, published in Nuremberg in 1927, is a scholarly art-historical plate book on early Greek sculpture schools, aimed at specialists and archaeologists. Its pictures are sepia photographs of archaic Greek marbles and bronzes, shown on plain grounds with captions naming sites such as Delphi, Naxos and London, with the figures lit from the side to bring out carved drapery and musculature; a designer might take their weathered stone texture, layered folds and frontal archaic poses as reference.
