Lange, Walther · 1878 · Leipzig, G. Knapp · 35 pictures

A German handbook of 1878 by Walther Lange, published in Leipzig by G. Knapp, written for art lovers, architects, archaeologists and students on the ancient Greek and Roman house. Its plates are measured plan drawings of domestic buildings, with floor layouts marked by thick black walls, doorways, columns around courtyards and room labels in German and Greek lettering; a designer could borrow their clean geometric floor-plan graphics, grid-like room patterns and labelled schematic diagram style for layouts, maps or minimal architectural graphics.
