History of art
Elie Faure's multivolume survey of world art, translated into English by the painter Walter Pach and issued by Harper & Brothers in 1921 for general readers rather than specialists. The 333 plates are coarse-screen halftone photographs of carved reliefs, capitals, mosaics and wall painting, often cropped close and lit from one side, giving grainy grey fields, blunt silhouettes and usable ornament fragments.
