Die Tektonik der Hellenen
Die Tektonik der Hellenen is a German architectural treatise by Carl Bötticher, published by Riegel in 1852, setting out Greek temple structure and ornament for architects and students. Its plates show grey-on-white ornamental borders in Greek styles, including palmette and scroll friezes, Greek key bands and leaf-and-stem strips, which a designer could adapt as repeating edge patterns, trims, or classical motifs for borders and packaging.
