Colección Labor: Historia de las artes industriales: Antigüedad y Edad Media

Lehnert, Georg, Camón Aznar, José [Übers.] · 1925 · 153 pictures

This Spanish-language survey of industrial arts from antiquity and the Middle Ages, by Georg Lehnert in a translation by José Camón Aznar and published in 1925, is a general reference volume for students. The four plates show an Egyptian tomb chamber with painted kneeling figures and offering scenes, a carved relief panel of a standing figure, a crucifixion scene on a cloth-draped ground, and a row of robed figures in arched niches above a plain pillar. A designer could draw on the dense, repeated figure rows and the framed panel layouts for patterned borders, tiled arrangements, and ornamental grouping.
