A 1900 Paris survey of sculpture in the Louvre by critic Gustave Geffroy, published by Nilsson and P. Lamm for educated art lovers and museum visitors. The photographs show Roman and classical marbles photographed in gallery settings: a standing Mercury, a child statue on an inscribed altar, a veiled female bust, and a seated funerary figure with carved lettering. For a designer they offer grave, monochrome studies of drapery, pedestals, and raking light on stone.
