Julius Kurth's 1912 study of the wall mosaics of Ravenna, published in Munich by R. Piper for art historians and students of early Christian decoration. Halftone plates record fifth- and sixth-century mosaics: a haloed Baptism of Christ in a domed roundel, the Good Shepherd among sheep, a gridiron and open book-cupboard lunette, and rows of medallion heads useful as circular portrait frames and border motifs.
