A German decorative-arts history from 1885 by Hugo Blümner and Otto von Schorn, published in Leipzig by G. Freytag, illustrating textiles, lace and pattern work. The pictures are monochrome plates of lace panels and damask or wallpaper-style repeat patterns, with dense scrolling foliage, acanthus, and symmetrical ornamental motifs that a designer could adapt for surface pattern, borders, or lace-inspired linework.
