Spemann, Wilhelm, 1844-1910, Graul, Richard, 1862-1944, Stettiner, Richard, 1865-1927 · 1896 · Berlin : W. Spemann · 19 pictures

A German art-appreciation guide from 1896, written by Wilhelm Spemann, Richard Graul and Richard Stettiner and published in Berlin by W. Spemann, meant for general readers learning to enjoy fine art. Its plates reproduce sculpture and paintings in black and white, several printed sideways. The first shows a relief panel with a dramatic draped figure, while the others show painted scenes of crowded figures and a standing robed man with an ornate garment, useful to designers studying figure grouping and drapery folds.
