Kunst-chronik
Kunst-chronik is an 1866 German art journal published in Leipzig by E.A. Seemann for readers in the art and decorative arts trades. Its pictures here are advertisements and notices rather than artworks: a bold boxed announcement for a permanent art exhibition, a Riberas monograph listing from Leipzig publisher Hiersemann, a Breitkopf & Hartel catalogue offer, and a Cologne museum director vacancy notice. A designer might take the heavy boxed headline typography, the justified columns and the dense German book-trade layout as models for period advertising.
