Friedrich Herlin : sein Leben und seine Werke, nach der Habilitationsschrift umgearbeitete Ausgabe
A German art-historical monograph by Friedrich Haack, published in Strassburg by Heitz in 1900, studying the painter Friedrich Herlin of Nördlingen through reproductions of his altarpiece panels. The plates show Nativity, Adoration of the Kings, and Passion-related scenes rendered as halftone reproductions with German captions, aimed at scholars of late medieval Swabian painting. For a designer, the pictures offer dense Gothic architecture backdrops, gilded tracery, and richly layered brocade and fur costume details in a restrained monochrome reproduction style.
