Das deutsche Kunstgewerbe zur Zeit der Weltausstellung in Chicago, 1893.
A German decorative arts survey published in Munich by M. Schorss in 1893, compiled by the Bavarian Kunstgewerbe-Verein and Leopold Gmelin for the Chicago World's Columbian Exposition. Its pages are dense bilingual-looking text columns in blackletter and roman type, with decorative chapter headings in red and orange, and occasional photographic plates of carved furniture and ornamented cabinets. A designer might take from them the period's heavy typographic hierarchy, ornamental carved panels with scrolling foliage, and the framing of furniture photographs against plain text.
