Über den Marmorkopf eines Negers in den Königlichen Museen
A 1900 Berlin monograph by the archaeologist Hans Schrader, published by G. Reimer, on a marble head of a Black man held in the Royal Museums, Berlin, aimed at scholars of classical sculpture. The four plates are black-and-white photographs of ancient stone heads shot from front, side and three-quarter angles, showing close detail of hair curls, beard texture and worn surfaces. A designer could take from them the sculptural treatment of curled hair and the strong profile lighting of carved portrait heads.
