Zeitschrift für christliche Archäologie und Kunst
A German periodical on Christian archaeology and art, edited by Ferdinand von Quast and Heinrich Otte and published in Leipzig by T. O. Weigel in 1856 for scholars of medieval church building and ornament. The plates are architectural drawings: ground plans, wall elevations, sectional views and carved detail, rendered in fine line and light grey wash. A designer could draw on their disciplined orthogonal layouts, the rhythm of round arches on columns, and the pointed-arch tracery panels as structural ornament references.
