Drawings of Holbein
A 1906 art book of reproductions of drawings by Hans Holbein the Younger, written by A. L. Baldry and published in London and New York by G. Newnes and C. Scribner's Sons. Its plates are halftone facsimiles of Holbein's portrait studies of sitters in caps, hoods and fur collars, drawn in chalk and pencil with minimal background. A designer can take from them the close, quiet head-and-shoulders framing and the soft tonal shading of graphite portraiture.
