The treatises of Benvenuto Cellini on goldsmithing and sculpture
A 1898 London edition of Benvenuto Cellini's treatises on goldsmithing and sculpture, edited and translated by C. R. Ashbee for the Guild of Handicraft, with plates of 16th-century Florentine work. The pictures show photographed medals, cast reliefs and bronze statuettes of nude male figures on pedestals, lit softly against cream paper, offering a designer clear reference for classical figure poses and small-scale relief composition.
