Handbücher der Königlichen Museen zu Berlin: Die italienische Plastik
Wilhelm Bode's 1891 handbook of the Royal Museums in Berlin, published in German and catalogued by Heidelberg University Library, documents the Italian sculpture collection for museum visitors and scholars. The pictures are halftone and engraved reproductions of Renaissance marble and terracotta Madonnas, a reliefs of the Virgin and Child, and a standing draped male figure, showing how sculptors handled drapery folds, the swaying Madonna pose and low relief depth.
