Der Paramentenschatz im historischen Museum zu Bern in Wort und Bild : im Auftrage der Aufsichtskommission des Museums

Stammler, Jakob, 1840-, Stammler, Jakob, Bernisches Historisches Museum. Abteilung für Kirchliche Altertümer · 1895 · Bern : K.J. Wyss · 31 pictures

An 1895 Bern catalogue of church vestments and embroideries from the Bernisches Historisches Museum, compiled by Jakob Stammler for the museum's supervisory commission and printed by K.J. Wyss. The pictures are plain black line engravings of long narrow embroidered panels, each framed with a numbered caption and showing rows of figures in scenes with Latin-style inscriptions. A designer could take from them the compartmented narrative layout, the crowded figure groupings, and the framed captioned strip format of medieval textile decoration.
