EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning collection of medieval architectural ornament and sculpture, captured in 1898 by an unknown creator. Each figure and detail tells a unique story of craftsmanship and artistic expression from the past. Figures 1 to 3 highlight intricate carvings found in prominent German cathedrals such as Ulm, Naumburg, and Gelnhausen. These ornate pieces demonstrate the skillful mastery of stone carving during the medieval period. Moving on to Fig 4 to Fig 7, we are transported to France where we encounter beautifully crafted brackets, finials, and knobs from iconic structures like Notre-dame in Paris. The delicate details showcased here exemplify the French Gothic style that has captivated art enthusiasts for centuries. Figures 9 to 12 introduce us to various crockets, hollow-decorations, and water-spouts sourced from Nuremberg and Cologne Cathedral. These elements were essential in adding visual interest and complexity to architectural designs during this era. The remaining figures take us on a journey through different regions of Germany with captivating examples including capitals from Wimpfen-im-Thal's church cloister (Fig 16), Frauenkirche at Esslingen (Fig17), Marienkirche at Reutlingen (Fig18), cornice-decoration on Troyes' cathedral (Fig19), carved shrine-door panel (Fig20) among others. Plate 41 from "The Historic Styles of Ornament" is not just a mere photograph but rather a window into our rich cultural heritage. It serves as a reminder that even today we can appreciate the beauty created by artisans who lived centuries ago.
