Description | Otto Lessing’s Bau-Ornamente der Nezuit (roughly; ‘Building Ornaments of the Modern Era’) was published by Ernst Wasmuth in Berlin during 1881 and is written entirely in German. The book focuses on the finer points of architecture from the then-modern era; namely sculpture, plastering, and general decorations. These elements are portrayed in both photographic and illustrating prints numbering 17 in this volume with short descriptions written below each. The areas covered within are limited to Austria and Germany, with the bulk of featured pieces residing in Germany. This is the first volume in a three-volume series. |
