Adler, Jacob Georg Christian, 1756-1834, Adler, Johann Christoph Georg · 1784 · Altona : Gedrukt bei J.D.A. Eckhardt, königl. privil. Buchdr. ; Und zu haben in Hamburg : In der Hofmannschen Buchhandlung · 2 pictures

A German travel diary published in Altona and Hamburg in 1784, edited by Johann Christoph Georg Adler from the journey notes of Jacob Georg Christian Adler, a Copenhagen professor and academy member writing about Rome. The two pictures are small rococo ornaments printed in black on cream paper: a flower-filled urn set within scrolling acanthus and C-scroll foliage, one with a tall vase-like top and one with a wide spray of leaves. A designer could draw on their asymmetric, flowing rocaille structure for cartouches, dividers, or vignette headers.
