Kunst und kunsthandwerk; monatsschrift herausgegeben vom Österreichischen museum fuer kunst und industrie
This is a German-language monthly from 1898, published in Vienna by Artaria for the Austrian Museum of Art and Industry, aimed at readers interested in decorative arts and craft. Its plates show furniture, clocks and bookbindings from Viennese workshops, reproduced as black-and-white photographs and engravings. A designer could take from them the Viennese turn-of-the-century habit of pairing dark mahogany with gilt ornament, geometric window glazing, and tightly framed plain bindings with restrained tooled borders.
