Egyptian art. Studies
Egyptian art. Studies is a 1913 art-historical survey by Gaston Maspero, published in New York by D. Appleton & Co., aimed at general readers and students of ancient Egyptian sculpture. Its plates are rotated photographs of royal statues, busts and relief carvings, with captions naming each piece. For designers, the pictures offer stark, high-contrast studies of stone profiles, striated headdresses and symmetrical frontal poses drawn from ancient Egypt.
