Wendingen : maandblad voor bouwen en sieren
Wendingen was a Dutch monthly magazine on building and decorative arts, edited by Constantinus Alting Mees and published at Santpoort in 1918 for architects, artists and designers. Its pages here are plain photographic plates of mineral specimens: rough crystal clusters, a dense quartz-like mass, and a single upright crystal point, each captioned with a locality and dimensions in Dutch and German. A designer might draw on their faceted, stacked and radiating crystal forms as a source for geometric pattern, texture and modular structure.
