Collection Georg Hirth
Collection Georg Hirth is a 1898 catalogue of decorative art published in Munich by G. Hirth's Kunstverlag, compiled by the collector Georg Hirth (1841-1916) and aimed at connoisseurs and collectors of ornamental objects. The pictures are photographic plates and line engravings of ornamental pieces, including an oval silver dish with a central figure in a scalloped border, cartouches with classical figures, and a carved panel of framed relief medallions, showing dense scrolling acanthus and cartouche ornament a designer could study for border and frame motifs.
