Der polygraphische Apparat, oder, Die verschiedenen Kunstfächer der K.K. Hof- und Staatsdruckerei zu Wien
A Vienna book of 1853 by Alois Auer, published by the Imperial-Royal Court and State Printing Office, showing the printing office's range of processes. Its plates include lithographs of landscapes with trees, rocks and a small building, and a decorative title page with figures and ornamental borders. A designer could take from them the tonal range of graphite-style lithography and the dense, scrolled framing of mid-nineteenth-century Viennese title pages.
