Das Kaiser Friedrich Museum
This is a 1911 Berlin museum catalogue, published by J. Bard and issued by the Königliche Museen zu Berlin for the Kaiser-Friedrich-Museum, illustrating its German and Netherlandish paintings and sculpture. The plates show a painted altarpiece with a Madonna and saints, a carved wooden standing saint, a row of painted panels of apostles or saints under arches, and a relief carving of a hunting or battle scene. A designer could take from them the architectural framing of gothic altarpieces, with arches, niches and gilt-ground panels, as a reference for ornamental borders.
