Kunstgewerbeblatt
Kunstgewerbeblatt is a German periodical of decorative arts published in Leipzig by E. A. Seemann in 1885, offering plates and text for craftsmen and designers. Its pictures are engraved and lithographed plates of ornament: a carved cartouche with trophies, a candle wall sconce with foliage, a cabinet and wall paneling with classical architectural detail, and a Gothic church lamp beside printed German text. A designer might take from them the vocabulary of historic ornament, including scrollwork, garlands, and architectural framing.
