Ornamentale und Kunstgewerbliche Sammelmappe : Spitzen des 16. bis 19. Jahrhunderts aus den Sammlungen des Kunstgewerbe-Museums zu Leipzig; Serie V
A German plate portfolio of lace samples from the Leipzig Museum of Applied Arts, compiled by Max Heiden and Melchior von Strassen and published by K. W. Hiersemann in 1894 as the fifth series for craft students and designers. Its pictures are photographic plates of lace fragments shown as pale patterns on black grounds, with collars, edgings, and insertions arranged in grids, giving a designer a dense reference of historical bobbin and needle lace motifs such as scrolls, florals, and geometric mesh fills.
