Handbook of the classical collection
A 1917 museum handbook by Gisela Richter, catalogue of the classical Greek and Roman collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, written for visitors and students of antiquities. Its photographs show black-figure and red-figure painted vases in plain black-and-white views, with the vessel's full silhouette, handles and painted bands clearly lit, offering designers examples of ancient vase shapes and figure friezes in silhouette.
