Teutsche Denkmäler. Erste Lieferung, Enthält die Bilder zum Sächsischen Land- und Lehnrecht
A first installment of Teutsche Denkmäler, published in Heidelberg in 1820 by Mohr and Winter, reproducing the illustrations of the Saxon land and feudal law (Sachsenspiegel) for a scholarly audience of legal and medieval historians. The pages are rows of small boxed woodcut-style scenes with Roman numerals and letter labels, showing medieval figures in courtly, legal, and everyday acts; a designer might take from them the compact grid layout of framed narrative panels and the stiff, schematic costume and gesture of early German manuscript drawing.
