Die Kunst- und Geschichts-Denkmäler des Grossherzogthums Mecklenburg-Schwerin : Im Auftrage des Grossherzoglichen Ministeriums des Innern

Schlie, Friedrich, 1839-1902 · 1898 · Schwerin i. M. : Druck und Verlag der Bärensprungschen Hofbuchdr.: Kommissionär K. F. Köhler, Leipzig · 28 pictures

A survey of the art and historical monuments of the Grand Duchy of Mecklenburg-Schwerin, compiled by Friedrich Schlie and published in Schwerin in 1898 on commission from the grand ducal interior ministry, for preservation officials and regional historians. Its plates show church interiors, architectural plans and elevations, and carved altar or pulpit work. A designer could draw on the Gothic brick architecture, the vaulted interiors with painted ceilings, and the dense carved woodwork as sources for ornament and spatial composition.
