Les musées d'Europe : La sculpture au Louvre

Geffroy, Gustave, 1855-1926 · 1900 · Paris : Librairie Nilsson, P. Lamm, succr · 23 pictures

A Paris 1900 survey of sculpture in the Louvre by critic Gustave Geffroy, published by Librairie Nilsson, aimed at general art readers and museum visitors. Its photographic plates show single standing statues in profile and frontal views, shot against plain dark backgrounds with the sculptures' surfaces, drapery folds and stone texture clearly lit, useful to designers studying classical figure silhouettes, drapery rhythm and monochrome stone tones.
