Chinese clay figures
Berthold Laufer's 1914 Field Museum monograph on Chinese mortuary clay figures, issued in Chicago as an anthropological series report for museum curators and students of Chinese antiquities and armor. Halftone plates photograph grave figurines—officials in robes and caps, armored guardians on animal bases—against black grounds, alongside pen drawings that isolate torsos, sleeves, and lamellar corselets as clean contour line usable for ornament, silhouette, or diagram.
