Der Stil in den technischen und tektonischen Künsten, oder, Praktische Aesthetik : ein Handbuch für Techniker, Künstler und Kunstfreunde
Gottfried Semper's 1860 Frankfurt treatise on style in the technical and tectonic arts, written as a handbook for craftsmen, artists and amateurs of art, covering textiles, ceramics, metalwork and building. Line engravings and outline drawings catalogue vase profiles, handles, column capitals, palmette borders and furniture joints, giving designers clean contour diagrams and ornament motifs that reproduce well at small sizes.
