Bildteppiche; Geschichte der Gobelinwirkerei
Bildteppiche is a German art-history survey of tapestry weaving by Hermann Schmitz, published in Berlin in 1922 for scholars and collectors of decorative arts. Its plates show medieval and Renaissance tapestries with dense, crowded compositions of figures, armour, architecture and ornamental borders, which a designer might study for layered pattern, border framing and the arrangement of many figures in a single panel.
