Der Weber-Laborde'sche Kopf und die Giebelgruppen des Parthenon
A German scholarly monograph by Bruno Sauer, published in Berlin by Georg Reimer in 1903, studying the Weber-Laborde head and the pediment sculptures of the Parthenon in Athens for specialists in classical archaeology. Its plates show line drawings of ancient marble fragments, including two views of a sculpted foot on a plinth, a rough rounded stone with carved curls, and a carved head with wavy hair and a fillet. A designer could take from them the clean hatched-line technique of early twentieth-century archaeological illustration and the calm, crisp profile of classical Greek sculpture.
