Beschreibung der churfürstlichen Antiken-Galerie in Dresden : zum Theil nach hinterlassenen Papieren Herrn Johann Friedrich Wacker's, ehemaligen Inspector's dieser Galerie
A German guidebook to the electoral antiquities gallery at Dresden, compiled by Johann Gottfried Lipsius from the papers of former inspector Johann Friedrich Wacker and published in Dresden in 1798 for visitors and scholars. The plates are large floor plans of the gallery rooms, showing sculpture placement along walls and in the centre, with numbered markers and grey-shaded wall niches and pedestals. A designer might take from them the orderly, schematic layout of a museum display, with its rhythm of repeated bays and small numbered symbols.
