Stadt Dresden
Stadt Dresden is a 1900 architectural survey of the city of Dresden, written by Cornelius Gurlitt and published in Dresden by C.C. Meinhold, aimed at readers of architecture and art history. The single picture is a measured floor plan of a palace-like building, labelled with a vestibule (A), a garden hall (B), and two courtyards marked Hof, with a metre and ellen scale bar along the bottom. A designer could take from it the clean hierarchy of thin black walls, stair and room outlines, and the way a plan's scale bar and lettered key sit in the margins.
