Semper, Gottfried, 1803-1879, Gebrüder Obpacher (Firm) · 1878 · München, F. Bruckmann · 171 pictures

Gottfried Semper's treatise on style in the technical and tectonic arts, issued in Munich by F. Bruckmann in 1878 for craftsmen, architects, artists and amateurs. The illustrations are small wood-engraved line diagrams of vases, ewers, bowls, handles and attachment points, many cropped to isolate a joint or a band of ornament, useful for silhouette studies, profile outlines and repeatable border motifs.
