Technik der Malerei : ein Handbuch für Künstler und Dilettanten
A German handbook on painting technique by Paul Schultze-Naumburg, published in Leipzig in 1901 for artists and amateur painters. Its pictures are small framed label panels and decorative bands in a sinuous Art Nouveau line style, with German captions such as Prüfung der Farben and lettered headings like b) Mauer and c) Addition. A designer could take from them the whirling whiplash contour, the stylised leaf and tendril border, and the framed label device of early Jugendstil print.
