Marbres et bronzes du Musée national

Ethnikon Archaiologikon Mouseion (Greece), Staēs, V. (Valerios), 1857-1923 · 1910 · Athènes : P.D. Sakellarios · 35 pictures

Marbres et bronzes du Musée national is an 1910 Athens catalogue of the National Archaeological Museum of Greece, compiled by archaeologist Valerios Stais and published by P.D. Sakellarios for scholars and museum visitors. Its photographs show Greek grave reliefs and sculpted marble panels, with figures in shallow relief set under pedimented or shell-topped frames, reproduced in high-contrast halftone. A designer might borrow the restrained classical compositions, the stone-frame architecture, and the stylised drapery and gesture for period or antiquity-themed work.
