The Deutsches Maler Journal was founded in 1876 by architect Adolf Gnauth (1840-1884) and painter Ludwig Lesker (1840-1890) as an organ of the Deutschen Maler-Bundes [German Painter's Federation], and dealt specifically with the technical aspect of painted interiors. Each volume contained a folio sheet of letterpress, four chromolithographs of interior painting designs, and anywhere from six to nine quarto sheets of stencil templates and tracing patterns which designers could use to re-create the lithographed designs. The journal's contributors were among the most noted German architects and designers of the day, e.g. Georg von Hauberrisser (1841-1922), Eugen Neureuther (1806-1882) and Hans von Kolb (1845-1928). Appearing as it did at the height of the German Historismus movement, the journal recorded an eclectic array of revivalist designs, including Greek, Roman, Gothic and Renaissance, which remain not only a documentary record of the era but also functional tools for today's designers. Many of the stencils were reprinted in the 1960's by Dover Press as Victorian Stencils for Design and Decoration, though in reduced size from these large-scale, period originals. Estimate: 400 - 700 13 Fifty Piece Collection of German Decorative Painting Lithographs, Templates and Patterns, from the Deutsches Maler Journal, books I and II (Stuttgart: W.

The Gnauth lithograph is a fine interpretation of the 16th century carved wooden ceiling in Dachau Palace. The original Renaissance ceiling, carved in 1566-1568 by Hans Wisreutter (fl. 1548-1572) was transferred in 1868 to the Bavarian National Museum. It was there that Gnauth adapted the ceiling as a painted decoration for architects and interior designers, rendered here in rich colors and metallic inks. (The ceiling was restored and returned to the Dachau Palace in 1977.) The Hauberreisser lithograph illustrates his design for a staircase wall in the Munich New Town Hall, a grand Gothic Revival building which began construction in 1867 and was not completed until 1908; stencil and tracing patterns for Hauberreisser's designs for some of the Town Hall corridors are also included in this lot.
