Kunst-chronik

1866 · Leipzig : E.A. Seemann · 14 pictures

Kunst-Chronik was a German art periodical published in Leipzig by E.A. Seemann, dated 1866 in this catalogue record, aimed at artists, dealers and collectors. The pictures are not illustrations but printed classified-advertisement boxes set in black-ruled frames: text notices for art sales, a Rembrandt copy commission, a Berlin academy competition, and a Teubner publication listing, all in German blackletter-influenced display type with heavy bold headlines and centred lines, a useful reference for designers seeking early twentieth-century German advertising layout and ruled-box framing.
