Kunst und Künstler am Baden-Durlacher Hof bis zur Gründung Karlsruhes
A 1917 art-historical study by Hans Rott, published in Karlsruhe, on artists working at the Baden-Durlach court before the founding of Karlsruhe. Its pictures are black-and-white reproductions of old architectural views and townscapes, many printed sideways on the page, showing palace complexes with steep roofs, dormers and gabled façades beside rivers and fortified walls. A designer could draw on their clear linear perspective drawings and dense roofscapes for historical architectural settings and period city views.
