Die Werkbund-Arbeit der Zukunst
This 1914 Jena publication by Hermann Muthesius and Friedrich Naumann, issued by the Deutscher Werkbund, is a programmatic text on the future of German design and industrial craft for a professional audience of designers and manufacturers. The pictures are a monogram seal of interlocking P, W and B letters inside a ring, a small black-ground woodcut-style ornament, and a printed advertisement for the Gewerbliche Materialkunde series, so a designer might draw on the compact monogram and the stark white-on-black emblem as models for logos and ornament.
