Die Bernwardstür zu Hildesheim
Die Bernwardstür zu Hildesheim is a 1907 German art-historical study by Franz Dibelius, published in Strassburg by J. H. E. Heitz, about the bronze doors made under Bishop Bernward of Hildesheim around 1000 for the cathedral. The pictures are photographic plates of the door panels in low-relief bronze, with scenes of figures, trees and architecture arranged in stacked registers. A designer might take from them the compressed narrative layout of panels, where several scenes share one frame divided by horizontal bands.
