Herzogthum Sachsen-Altenburg

Lehfeldt, Paul, 1848-1900 · 1895 · Jena : Verlag von Gustav Fischer · 7 pictures

This is a 1895 architectural survey of the Duchy of Saxe-Altenburg by Paul Lehfeldt, published in Jena by Gustav Fischer, covering the region's buildings and decorative arts. The pictures include a drawn courtyard fountain, an ornate clock-case design, a baroque house facade, and a photographed interior with paintings and chandeliers. A designer could take from them the dense Baroque ornament of scrolls, masks and sculpted figures, and the sepia interior photographs of period furnishing.
