Pre-historic times: as illustrated by ancient remains and the manners and customs of modern savages

Lubbock, John, Sir, 1834-1913 · 1900 · London, Edinburgh [etc.] : Williams and Norgate · 139 pictures

Sir John Lubbock's survey of Stone Age archaeology and comparative ethnography, issued by Williams and Norgate in London and Edinburgh in 1900 for general and scholarly readers. Wood-engraved specimen figures show flint axes, blades and cores isolated on white, modelled with dense ruled hatching that reads as stone texture and gives designers crisp silhouettes and tonal fill patterns.
