Geschichte der bildenden Künste
A German art-history survey by Karl Schnaase, published in Düsseldorf in 1843 by J. Buddeus, drawn from the Getty Research Institute's copy and aimed at scholars of architecture and the fine arts. Its pictures are plain black-and-white engraved architectural drawings: a nave elevation with round arches and pilasters, a floor plan with a rounded apse and radiating chapels, a cross-section of a church with tall arcades and a clerestory, and an elevation of a campanile with arched belfry openings. A designer could take their clean line hierarchy and orderly geometry as models for architectural diagrams or grid-based layouts.
