Stadt Leipzig

Gurlitt, Cornelius, 1850-1938 · 1895 · Dresden : C.C. Meinhold · 2 pictures

Stadt Leipzig is an 1895 architectural survey by Cornelius Gurlitt, published in Dresden by C.C. Meinhold for architects and art historians studying the city. Its plates pair a formal street elevation of a Leipzig building with a wide, finely drawn panorama of the city seen across open ground. A designer could take from them the orderly rhythm of classical facades, with pilasters, pediments and tiered windows, and the sprawling skyline of a historic town.
