Marktstände
Marktstände is a German plate from 1735 showing market stalls and trades, apparently an engraved reference sheet of shop fronts and goods for a general readership. The single print arranges about a dozen small scenes in a grid, each with a stall, a vendor or customer, and displayed wares such as cloth, bread, baskets and hanging garments. A designer could take its tidy, repeated stall structures as a model for compact icon sets or infographic layouts of vendors and goods.
