Guida illustrata del Museo Civico Correr di Venezia
An illustrated guide to the Museo Civico Correr in Venice, published by the museum in 1909 from the Venice printing house Premiata Tipografia Emiliana, aimed at visitors touring its collections. The plates reproduce its sculptures and paintings in black and white: a bronze-toned bust of a woman with a tightly curled hairstyle draped in cloth, a painted triptych of a seated Madonna and child flanked by two saints under arches, and a bearded male portrait bust in a toga-like drape on a plinth. A designer could draw on the sober, archival photographic style and the classical drapery and hairstyles shown.
