Collections de feu M. Jean P. Lambros d'Athenes et de M. Giovanni Dattari du Caire
This 1912 Paris auction catalogue from the Hôtel Drouot records the collections of the late Jean P. Lambros of Athens and Giovanni Dattari of Cairo, issued for prospective bidders and collectors. Its plates are halftone photographs of ancient sculptural fragments: carved reliefs, heads, a sandal, a sarcophagus and Egyptian amulets photographed on plain cream paper, showing strong raking light that makes the relief depth legible for a designer studying carved form.
