Men of the old stone age, their environment, life and art

Osborn, Henry Fairfield, 1857-1935. [from old catalog] · 1918 · New York, C. Scribner's sons · 275 pictures

Henry Fairfield Osborn's 1918 survey of Palaeolithic humans, published by Scribner's in New York for museum-going readers and students of prehistory. Halftone photographs isolate flint hand-axes, scrapers and carved stone fragments against plain grounds, alongside line drawings of cave art and figures; useful for silhouettes with chipped edges, grainy tonal texture, and lettered plate labels.
