Katalog der Wiener-Congress-Ausstellung 1896
An 1896 exhibition catalogue published in Vienna by the K.K. Österreichisches Museum für Kunst und Industrie for the Wiener Congress exhibition, documenting decorative arts tied to the 1814–1815 Congress of Vienna. The plate is a rotated engraved print of a crowded formal assembly in a richly panelled hall, framed by a border of small medallion portraits. A designer might take from it the dense group composition, the ornamental roundel border, and the formal interior staging of a period ceremony.
