Altgriechische Plastik; eine Einführung in die griechische Kunst des archaischen und gebundenen Stils
Wilhelm Lermann's 1907 Munich introduction to early Greek sculpture, written in German for students of art history and the archaic and severe styles. The four plates are halftone photographs of white marble statues: a bust with a stylised face, a standing figure seen from behind, a long-robed kouros-type figure with braided hair, and a head with curled hair turned in profile. For designers, the plates offer clean, high-contrast figure studies of classical stone sculpture, useful for reference on drapery folds, braided hair and archaic poses.
