100 Jahre im Dienste der Kunst : Erinnerungsgabe der Firma O. Felsing aus Anlass des hundertjährigen Bestehens der Kupferdruckerei
A German commemorative book of 1897 by Willibald Franke, issued by the Berlin copperplate printing firm O. Felsing to mark its hundred years, given as a gift by Wilhelm Felsing. The pictures are black-and-white reproductions of etchings, engravings and wash drawings: a rotated street scene with figures, a man standing beside a leafy tree, a ruined tower with a crowd on a hill, and a seated musician beneath an organ. A designer could draw on their dense hatching and tonal shading as models for printed monochrome work.
