Die Darstellung des ersten Menschenpaares in der bildenen Kunst von der ältesten Zeit bis auf unsere Tage
A scholarly German art-historical study by Josef Kirchner, published in Stuttgart by F. Enke in 1903, tracing how painters and printmakers depicted the first human couple from antiquity onward. The pictures are reproductions of paintings and woodcuts showing Adam and Eve in the Garden, the Temptation, and the Expulsion, rendered in plain halftone and line. A designer could take from them the recurring poses of nude figures, the serpent and fruit-tree motifs, and the way different centuries staged the same biblical scene.
