This rare plate comes from the architectural folio Gotisches Musterbuch by V. Statz and G. Ungewitter, reissued in 1905 in its second edition under the direction of Karl Mohrmann, professor at the Royal Technical College in Hannover. Originally conceived as a teaching resource, the Musterbuch (pattern book) became one of the most widely used references for architects, craftsmen, and designers engaged in the revival of medieval forms.
The Gothic tradition first emerged in 12th-century France with innovations like pointed arches and ribbed vaults, later spreading across Europe to define cathedrals, churches, and civic monuments. Revived in the 19th century, it symbolized both medieval devotion and modern inspiration, making works like the Musterbuch essential in preserving and reinterpreting the style.
The plate presents a striking example of Gothic artistry that merges structure with ornament. Whether through sculptural reliefs, elaborate tracery, ironwork, or fantastical motifs, each image captures the inventive spirit and symbolic richness of the Gothic tradition as recorded from historic sites across Germany and France.
Printed in Leipzig by Chr. Herm. Tauchnitz in 1905, this reissue reflects a turning point in architectural education, when Gothic craftsmanship was studied systematically, not only for preservation but also as a source of inspiration for modern design.
