Moderne Architektur : seinen Schülern ein Führer auf diesem Kunstgebiete
Moderne Architektur is a 1902 Vienna guide to modern architecture by the architect Otto Wagner, written for his students and published by Anton Schroll & Co. The four pages shown pair photographs of Secession-era buildings and interior details with decorative art nouveau borders of stylised female faces, sinuous botanical scrolls and classical column motifs. A designer could draw on the flat, linear ornament framing each photograph, the mask-like profile heads, and the pale sepia palette with its single ink colour.
