Strebel, Hermann, 1861-1914 · 1885 · Hamburg ; Leipzig : L. Voss, · 41 pictures

Alt-Mexico is an 1885 archaeological study of ancient Mexican antiquities by Hermann Strebel, published by L. Voss in Hamburg and Leipzig for scholars of pre-Columbian culture. Its photographic plates show rows of ceramic vessels, figurines, masks and carved stone objects arranged on shelves and against plain backgrounds, with numbered labels and a measuring scale, giving designers a clear catalogue style of object photography with strong sculptural forms and earthy tones.
