Moritz v. Schwinds zeichnungen
A 1919 Berlin and Vienna publication by Willibald Franke collecting drawings of Moritz von Schwind (1804-1871), the Austrian Romantic painter, reproduced as plates with German captions naming the scenes and sources. The plates are monochrome reproductions of pen, pencil and wash drawings, mostly with figures in dreamlike or mythic scenes. A designer might take from them the loose, sketchy line and the staged, theatrical groupings of figures, with much empty paper left around the subjects.
