Christian Friedr. Prangens, Magisters der Weltweisheit und der freyen Künste Entwurf einer Akademie der bildenden Künste: Worin die Ersten Gründe der Zeichnungskunst, Maler-, Kupferstecher-, Bildhauer- und Baukunst erklärt werden
Christian Friedrich Prange's 1778 German treatise outlines an academy of fine arts, explaining the first principles of drawing, painting, engraving, sculpture and architecture for students of those arts. The pictures are small rococo ornamental vignettes with cartouches, cherubs and scrolls, with one showing a harbour scene and another a decorative initial letter, so a designer might borrow their scrolling frames and border motifs.
