Bibliothek der Kunstgeschichte: Das romanische Kunstgewerbe in Deutschland
A German art history volume from 1922 by Robert Schmidt, part of the Bibliothek der Kunstgeschichte series, surveying Romanesque decorative arts in Germany, held by Heidelberg University Library. The pictures are black and white photographs of metalwork and reliquaries, including a gilded enamelled shrine captioned as Um 1155 with a Christ-enthroned gable, and a rotated plate of relief figures with bands of inscription and foliage ornament that a designer could take as models for dense medieval border and panel patterning.
