Catalog of the collections in the Museum of the "Wasserburg" (German village), Columbian World Exposition at Chicago, 1893
An 1893 exhibition catalogue issued by the German government for the Museum of the Wasserburg, a German village display at the World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago, listing armour and weapons for a general public audience. The pictures are halftone photographs of a carved steel helmet, a mounted armoured rider with a lance, a seated suit of armour, and a set of carving forks and knives on a dark ground, shown in plain documentary views with soft tonal shading that a designer could use for historical metalwork references.
