Geschichte der Mannheimer Zeichnungsakademie : nach dem urkundlichen Material dargestellt
A 1902 German art-history book, Joseph August Beringer's history of the Mannheim drawing academy, published in Strassburg by J.H. Ed. Heitz for readers of art history and academy records. Both pictures are the same oval-framed emblem of a winged, draped female figure standing on a rocky mound above a pedestal bearing a monogram, set within scrolled and grotesque-animal borders. A designer could take the strong oval cartouche layout, the scrolled corner ornaments with beasts, and the crisp black-on-cream line engraving style for period frames.
