Der chinesische Teppich

Hackmack, Adolf · 1921 · Hamburg, Friederichsen · 52 pictures

Adolf Hackmack's 1921 Hamburg study of Chinese carpets, published by Friederichsen for collectors, dealers and students of Asian textile ornament. Line drawings isolate carpet motifs as flat black-and-white shapes — lotus and peony scrolls, cloud bands, ribboned emblems, bat roundels around a shou character — with hatched fills and clean silhouettes suited to stencils, repeat patterns and logo marks.
