World's Columbian Exposition (1893 : Chicago, Ill.). Germany · 1893 · 6 pictures

An 1893 exhibition catalogue issued by the German government for the Museum of the Wasserburg, a German village display at the World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago, listing armour and weapons for a general public audience. The pictures are halftone photographs of a carved steel helmet, a mounted armoured rider with a lance, a seated suit of armour, and a set of carving forks and knives on a dark ground, shown in plain documentary views with soft tonal shading that a designer could use for historical metalwork references.
