Peter Cornelius : Festschrift zu des grossen Künstlers hundertstem Geburtstage, 23.September 1883
A German commemorative volume issued in Berlin in 1883 by R. v. Decker, edited by Herman Riegel, honouring the painter Peter von Cornelius on the centenary of his birth. The plates are mounted photographic reproductions of portraits and drawings, with one pen-and-ink or wash study in an oval mount and a densely worked engraved-style composition showing a seated figure beneath foliage and a standing winged figure. A designer might take the oval vignette framing and the sparse mount layout as models for a tribute page.
