Die Konstruktionen und die Kunstformen der architektur, ihre Entstehung und Geschichtliche Entwickelung bei den verscheidenen Völkern...
An 1902 architectural history by Constantin Uhde and Carl Zetzsche, published in Berlin by E. Wasmuth, aimed at students and scholars of building construction and decorative form across many cultures. Its plates are blue-toned line drawings of arches, cornices, brickwork and wall facades, with numbered figures and small captions. A designer could draw on the layered arch profiles, stepped moulding bands and tiled wall patterns as ready-made geometric ornament for borders and framing.
