Inside Out Library

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

Osborn, Henry Fairfield, 1857-1935 · 1915 · New York, C. Scribner's Sons · 268 pictures

Henry Fairfield Osborn's 1915 survey of Palaeolithic humans, published by Scribner's in New York for general and student readers of prehistory and archaeology. Line drawings copy engraved reindeer, horses and bison from cave walls and bone fragments, while halftones record skulls and incised stone slabs — usable as sparse animal outlines, stippled fossil textures and irregular fragment silhouettes.
