Ueber Mahlerei und Bildhauerarbeit in Rom: für Liebhaber des Schönen in der Kunst: Ueber Mahlerei und Bildhauerarbeit in Rom
Ueber Mahlerei und Bildhauerarbeit in Rom is a 1787 German art-criticism volume by Friedrich Wilhelm Basilius von Ramdohr, published in Leipzig by Philipp Erasmus Reich and Weidmanns Erben for connoisseurs of art. The single picture is a bookplate, not an illustration of the text: a grey engraved heraldic shield with a crest of a helmet and wings, flanked by two rampant goats and a ribbon inscription, above a printed label reading Vermächtnis Dr. Max Freiherr von Waldberg, Professor in Heidelberg, with a University Library Heidelberg credit. A designer could take its symmetrical framed emblem and banded ornamental border as a model for a restrained heraldic seal or ex libris.
