Die Königsburg von Pergamon: ein Bild aus der griechischen Vorzeit
Die Königsburg von Pergamon is an 1883 German archaeological reconstruction book by Friedrich von Thiersch, presenting the Hellenistic royal citadel of Pergamon as a picture of ancient Greece for scholars and general readers. The first plate is a bird's-eye view of the acropolis with terraced temples, colonnades and a theatre rising above the town, which a designer could use for layered architectural landscape compositions; the second is a decorative letter initial with interlaced foliage in a classical ornamental style, useful for borders and typographic display.
