The Green Vaults Dresden: illustrations of the choicests works in that museum of art

Gruner, Ludwig [Hrsg.], Landsberg, Karl A. von [Mitarb.] · 1862 · 26 pictures

A chromolithographed plate book of 1862 edited by Ludwig Gruner with text by Karl von Landsberg, reproducing the most important objects in the Green Vaults treasury at Dresden for a museum-going and art-collecting public. The pictures show goldsmiths' and lapidaries' vessels set against plain grounds, with each object rendered in close, even colour, so a designer can study ornament, enamel and form for historicist decorative work.
