Geschichte der griechischen Plastik
A German-language survey of Greek sculpture by Maxime Collignon and Eduard Thraemer, published in Strassburg in 1897 by K.J. Trübner for scholars and students of classical art. Its photographs show freestanding marble statues, some headless, and a relief frieze, shot plainly against black backgrounds so the carved drapery reads clearly. A designer might take from them the deep folds of classical drapery and the contrast of pale stone against dark ground.
