Architekturbilder
A German plate from the Münchener Bilderbogen, a single-sheet illustrated series, made by Christian Jank and Nikolaus Knilling in 1855 for a general popular audience. Its engravings show medieval town gates, towers and fortified walls in several small vignettes, with figures and rooftops around them. A designer could take from it the picturesque stone gatehouses, stepped gables and crowded alley perspectives typical of mid-nineteenth-century architectural prints.
