Geschichte der griechischen Plastik: fur Kunstler und Kunstfreunde
Johannes Adolf Overbeck's Geschichte der griechischen Plastik, published in Leipzig in 1869, is a scholarly history of Greek sculpture written for artists and art lovers. Its pictures are fine-line engravings of ancient statues, with clean outlines, plain backgrounds and figures shown whole, useful to a designer for classical figure poses, drapery folds and the proportions of idealised bodies.
