Inside Out Library

Deutsche Museen; Entstehung und Kulturgeschichtliche Bedeutung unserer öffentlichen Kunstsammlungen

Scherer, Valentin, 1878- · 1913 · Jena E. Diederichs · 24 pictures

Valentin Scherer's 1913 history of German public art collections, published by Eugen Diederichs in Jena for German readers interested in museums and cultural history. Halftone and line plates show museum exteriors along empty streets, domed rotundas lined with antique statuary, and long picture galleries hung frame-to-frame — useful for neoclassical facades, coffered vaults, and period display conventions.
