Gottfried Semper's two-volume theory of style in the technical and tectonic arts, issued at Munich by F. Bruckmann in 1884 as a handbook for craftsmen, artists and students of design. The line engravings catalogue vessel profiles, handles, spouts, column capitals and ornament bands in outline with light hatching, useful as clean silhouettes, contour studies of pottery and metalwork, and repeatable ornament motifs.
