Kunst-chronik
Kunst-chronik is an 1866 German art periodical published in Leipzig by E.A. Seemann, serving readers interested in art and decorative arts. Its pictures are not illustrations but printed advertisements for art books and dealers, set in heavy black rules with bold Fraktur-style headings, small bracketed item numbers, and boxed text blocks. A designer might take from them the conventions of nineteenth-century German trade notices: dense justified text, framed panels, and mixed bold and light type weights.
