[Halftones from photographs in A day in ancient Rome]
Description:
"3 half-tones from photographs of sculpture...Many early examples have the half-tones printed on sheets, separate from the text, which is not the case here...Half-tones printed best on smooth calendered paper that was glossy; since magazines prior to this used soft papers, it was necessary to change completely the paper used for the half-tone illustrations..."--Hanson Collection catalog, p. 84
