Sarre, Friedrich Paul Theodor, 1865-1945, Mittwoch, Eugen, 1876-1942 · 1906 · Berlin, Kommissionsverlag von K. W. Hiersemann in Leipzig · 53 pictures

A scholarly catalogue of Friedrich Sarre's private collection of Islamic art, with inscriptions read by the Arabist Eugen Mittwoch, issued in Berlin and Leipzig in 1906 for collectors, museum curators and orientalists. Line drawings unroll the engraved surfaces of brass candlesticks, basins and lamp stands into flat bands of Kufic and cursive lettering, medallions, arabesque scroll and running animals, alongside photographic plates of the vessels themselves.
