Mittelalterliche Kunstdenkmale des österreichischen Kaiserstaates
A German-language survey of medieval monuments of the Austrian Empire, edited by Gustav Adolph Heider and Rudolf von Eitelberger and published in Stuttgart in 1858, aimed at architects and antiquarians studying church building. Its plates are plain line engravings: a sectioned basilica with arcades and a stepped scale bar, a tall Gothic traceried window with figure niches, a row of arcaded wall panels with leaf-carved spandrels, and a carved corbel block. For a designer they offer clean architectural profiles, cornice mouldings and tracery patterns that read well as drawn ornament.
