Mainzer Ornamentik : die Stilwandlung im 18. Jahrhundert
Mainzer Ornamentik, by Herman Keil, published in Marburg in 1918, is a German art-historical study of decorative ornament in eighteenth-century Mainz and its shift in style. The plates show Rococo ornament drawn as line sketches: scrolled cartouches, acanthus leaves, curling brackets and framed mirror surrounds. A designer could take from them the asymmetric C-scroll and shell-like rhythms of the German Rococo.
