Ancient marbles in Great Britain
A scholarly catalogue of ancient Greek and Roman marble sculptures held in British collections, written by the German archaeologist Adolf Michaelis and edited by C. A. M. Fennell and published by Cambridge University Press in 1882. Its pictures are plain line engravings and halftone prints of reliefs and statues, many with draped figures in profile or frontal poses, which a designer could use as reference for classical drapery, relief composition and figure groupings.
