Architektonische Entwürfe für den Umbau vorhandener Gebäude: Umbau der königlichen Civil-Kabinetshauses bei Sanssouci
A German architectural publication of 1843 edited by Friedrich Ludwig Persius, presenting designs for remodelling existing buildings, here the royal civil cabinet house at Sanssouci. The plates are lithographed views of a white classical villa set among tall trees, drawn in soft grey tones with the sheet printed sideways. A designer could take from them the restrained tonal shading of foliage framing a pale stucco facade, and the rhythm of tall arched windows in a sober neoclassical house.
