Katalog der österreichischen Abtheilung. Heft 1, Gruppe I u. III: Unterricht Hilfsmittel der Kunst u. Wissenschaft
An 1900 exhibition catalogue issued in Vienna by the Austrian section of the Paris Exposition Universelle, covering education and aids to art and science. Its pictures are plain black-and-white engravings and halftone photographs: a mechanical diagram of a machine's linkage, a studio-lit photograph of a large mechanical apparatus with a crank wheel and ranked rods, and sober bust portraits of men in period dress with medals. A designer could take the clean technical line work of the mechanism diagram and the restrained tonal portraiture as models for understated instructional graphics.
