Das Museum : eine Anleitung zum Genuss der Werke bildender Kunst

Spemann, Wilhelm, 1844-1910, Graul, Richard, 1862-1944, Stettiner, Richard, 1865-1927 · 1896 · Berlin : W. Spemann · 30 pictures

Das Museum, a German guide to appreciating works of fine art, was written by Wilhelm Spemann, Richard Graul and Richard Stettiner and published in Berlin by W. Spemann in 1896 for general museum visitors. Its pictures are black-and-white halftone reproductions of paintings and a sculpted bust, showing portraits and a group interior with dim backgrounds and strong lighting, useful for designers studying tonal portrait composition and how figures are placed against dark grounds.
