Arbeitschule: Das Thonmodelliren: Für Kinder von 4 bis 14 Jahren
Arbeitschule: Das Thonmodelliren is a German schoolbook of 1865 by Friedrich Seidel and Franz Schmidt, teaching clay modelling to children aged four to fourteen. The two plates show engraved line drawings of ornamental motifs such as hearts, rosettes, vases, goblets, pitchers and bowls, arranged in grids on the page. A designer could take from them the simple outline shapes and classical vessel profiles that suit flat graphic ornament or a set of decorative icons.
