Emails aus dem Schatze des St. Stephans-Dones in Wien : nebst einer Übersicht der Entwickelung des Emails im Mittelalter

Heider, Gustav, 1819-1897, Cámesina, Albert Ritter von San Vittore, 1806-1881 · 1859 · Wien : Aus der Kaiserlich-Königlichen Hof- und Staatsdruckerei · 12 pictures

An 1859 Vienna publication by Gustav Heider and Albert von Camesina, issued by the Imperial-Royal court printing office, studying the enamels in the treasury of St. Stephen's Cathedral and the medieval development of enamel work. The pictures are line engravings of enamel plaques: a crucifixion scene in a roundel, a seated figure under an arched frame, and a roundel showing figures in a biblical narrative. They show clean outlines and simple folds in drapery, useful to a designer seeking medieval figure drawing and framed circular or arched compositions.
