Ancient Peruvian Art, volume 3, is an archaeological plate collection by Arthur Baessler, translated by A.H. Keane, published in Berlin and New York in 1902 for students of Inca and pre-Inca antiquities. Its plates show Peruvian ceramic vessels, carved stone and wooden figures, and pottery effigies drawn in flat brown and tan tones with clear outlines. A designer could draw on the simplified stylised animal and human forms, bold banded patterns and symmetrical arrangements of objects across the page.
