Die Schönheit der grossen Stadt
August Endell's 1908 essay on urban aesthetics, Die Schönheit der grossen Stadt, published in Stuttgart by Strecker & Schröder for German readers interested in city planning and municipal art. Illustration is sparse: coarse halftone reproductions of paintings such as Monet's river and bridge scenes, a heavy black-and-white Jugendstil block vignette of a gabled house between trees, and lines of italic display type useful as stencil-like marks, tonal city textures, and period lettering.
