Ein Hundert Tafeln nach den Bildwerken der Kgl. Glyptothek zu München

Furtwängler, Adolf, 1853-1907, Glyptothek München · 1903 · München [s. n.] · 25 pictures

A plate book of one hundred photographs of marble sculptures from the Munich Glyptothek, compiled by archaeologist Adolf Furtwängler and published in Munich in 1903 for scholars and students of classical art. The pictures are dark-backed, sharp photographs of isolated heads and busts shown at odd angles, with carved curls, drapery and worn surfaces that a designer could use as references for classical sculpture forms and lighting.
