Waagen, Gustav Friedrich, 1794-1868, Waagen, Gustav Friedrich, 1794-1868. Treasures of art in Great Britain · 1857 · London : J. Murray · 1 picture

Waagen's 1857 London survey of more than forty British art collections, visited in 1854 and 1856 and published by John Murray, written for art historians and collectors. The one picture is a small plain diagram rather than a painting: a circle ringed by stars holds three face-like discs stacked on a vertical line, with two blank discs beside them, a simple schematic device a designer could borrow for minimal emblem or icon work.
