The museums and ruins of Rome
A 1912 London guide to the museums and ruins of Rome, written by Walther Amelung and Heinrich Holtzinger with English translation by Eugénie Strong, aimed at travellers and students visiting Roman collections. The four photographs show white marble Greco-Roman statues, photographed against black backgrounds, with draped robes, contrapposto stances and classical hairstyles that offer designers clear models for classical sculpture forms and drapery folds.
