Neue Denkmäler antiker Kunst III : Antiken in den Museen von Amerika / von A. Furtwängler
A German-language 1905 catalogue of classical antiquities in American museums, written by the archaeologist Adolf Furtwängler and published in Munich by the Bavarian Academy of Sciences for scholars of ancient art. Its pictures are plain black-and-white photographs of isolated objects against dark or neutral grounds: two views of a standing nude marble figure with a helmet-like headdress, and Greek painted vases with figures in profile and key-pattern bands. A designer could take clean silhouettes, classical figure poses, and the Greek meander and palmette borders as reference for simple decorative work.
