Kunst und kunsthandwerk; monatsschrift herausgegeben vom Österreichischen museum fuer kunst und industrie
A German-language monthly of decorative arts issued in Vienna in 1898 by the Austrian Museum of Art and Industry, edited by Arthur von Scala and Franz Ritter for craftsmen, collectors and students of design. Its plates show metalwork and objects: a rapier-like dagger with an ornate pommel, a steel sacrament house door pierced with vines and animals, a silver-grey jug with a scrolled handle, and an engraved view of a Heidelberg palace garden with parterre beds. A designer might take from them the pierced foliage pattern, the scrolled handle profile, and the formal geometry of the garden layout.
