Architektur, nach antiquitetischer Lehr und geometrischer Ausstheylung ...
A 1630 German architectural pattern book by Rütger Kassmann, published by Hermann Esser, offering classical design guidance for builders and craftsmen. The pictures are black-and-white engraved plates of columns, portals, pilasters, and sculpted niches with figures, arranged as detailed ornamental studies. A designer could draw on their dense baroque decorative vocabulary, from strapwork cartouches to twisted columns and figural architectural framing.
