Ornamentale und Kunstgewerbliche Sammelmappe : Spitzen des 16. bis 19. Jahrhunderts aus den Sammlungen des Kunstgewerbe-Museums zu Leipzig; Serie IV
A German portfolio of lace samples published in Leipzig in 1894 by K. W. Hiersemann, drawn from the Leipzig Museum of Applied Arts (Städtisches Kunstgewerbemuseum) and compiled by Max Heiden and Melchior von Strassen for craftsmen and designers. The plates show black-ground photographs of lace strips, collars and squares from the sixteenth to nineteenth centuries, with dense scrolling vine and floral patterns, needle lace motifs, and bands of figures and birds, offering a designer a catalogue of historical lace borders, all-over repeats and edging motifs.
