Die Bau- und Kunstzimmerei: mit besonderer Berücksichtigung der äusseren Form: Tafeln
A late nineteenth-century German technical plate book on building carpentry and timber construction, edited by Theodor Krauth and Franz Sales Bernhard Meyer and issued in 1893 by the Heidelberg University Library digital collection. Its pages are measured line drawings of roof trusses, gable roofs, stair construction, joinery details and wooden balustrades, drawn in plan, elevation and section. A designer could draw on the precise geometric framing, the carved bracket and gable ornament, and the interlocking joinery of the timber structures.
