Kunstgewerbeblatt

1885 · Leipzig [etc.] E. A. Seemann · 27 pictures

Kunstgewerbeblatt is a German periodical of applied and decorative arts, published in Leipzig by E. A. Seemann in 1885 for craftsmen and designers. Its plates show ornamental friezes and strips in black and white, with scrolling foliage, interlace, and cherubs, including a Strassburg embroidery and a lace pattern on the last page; a designer could draw on their rhythmic repeats and contrast of dark grounds with pale motifs.
