Designs for architectural models to be erected with Richter's "anchor blocks" = Bauvorlagen für Richter's anker-steinbaukasten / composed and executed by Dr. Richter's art department.
A children's construction manual published by F. Ad. Richter & Co. in 1900, issued by Dr. Richter's Publishing House in New York, showing how to assemble church-like models from Richter's anchor building blocks. The four colour plates present a building from several angles, with each plate labelled with a letter, and the rotated scans show the walls, towers and roofs built up from the block shapes. A designer could take from them the stepped, toy-like massing of brick-red roofs and cream stone walls, and the way the plates present one model in successive views.
