Amtliche Berichte aus den königlichen Kunstsammlungen
This is a 1907 Berlin periodical of official reports from the royal art collections, published by G. Grote'sche Verlagsbuchhandlung and written by Charles Lang Freer for a German-reading art audience. The three pictures are halftone photographs: two pages of paired plaster or wax medallion portraits in profile, and a printed page showing a Florentine altarpiece scene of a Quattrocento predella with a figure on a bier and mourners in robes. A designer could take from them the classic profile-medallion format, with its circular framing and sculpted relief, and the clean monochrome reproduction style of early twentieth-century art publications.
