Geschichte und Kunstdenkmäler der Stadt Reval
A German-language art-historical survey of the Estonian city of Reval (Tallinn), written by the historian Eugen von Nottbeck and published there by F. Kluge in 1896 for readers interested in the city's monuments. Its pictures are measured architectural plans, a detail drawing of a capital and window profile with dimensions, and an ornate carved wooden or stone epitaph with inscriptions and figures, drawn in fine black line. A designer might take from them the clarity of architectural plan diagrams, with hatched walls, dimension lines and labelled rooms, and the dense, symmetrical ornament of Renaissance epitaph design.
