The only edition of this school for decorative painters with large-format plates. The plates of the work compiled and edited by Carl (Karl) Behrens, a painter and teacher of this profession working in Berlin, show motifs (often floral) with stylistic elements of historicism (Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance) and Art Nouveau.
Binding very slightly stained, the plates clean and fresh.
