Zeitschrift für christliche Archäologie und Kunst
A German periodical on Christian archaeology and art, edited by Ferdinand von Quast and Heinrich Otte and published in Leipzig by T. O. Weigel in 1856, aimed at scholars of medieval church architecture. The engraved plates show Gothic and Romanesque architecture in fine line: a nave elevation with pointed arches and lancet windows, a column with a stepped base and a carved capital, a round-arched window with paired colonnettes and spiral capitals, and an enlarged capital with foliage. A designer could take from them the clear linear drawing of columns, arches, and capitals as a base for ornament, border, or architectural line art.
