Die Kunst- und Geschichts-Denkmäler des Grossherzogthums Mecklenburg-Schwerin : Im Auftrage des Grossherzoglichen Ministeriums des Innern
A German inventory of art and historical monuments of the Grand Duchy of Mecklenburg-Schwerin, compiled by Friedrich Schlie and published in Schwerin in 1898 by the Grand Ducal ministry of the interior for regional heritage authorities and scholars. Its plates record churches, castles and altars through plain line drawings and photographs, mostly rendered in black and white, some printed sideways. A designer could take from them the compact architectural massing of brick churches, with steep spires, arched window rhythms and tidy gardens, as reference for historicist architectural form.
