Not on view

Ornament print with a design for an altar in a late Baroque style, with a reliquary crowned by a crucifix echoing the shape of the crucifx crowning the pediment. Above the altar and on the pediment, large compartments have been placed which offer space for paintings, but here left blank. The floorplan for the altar is depicted directly below the elevation. This print is bound in an album containing 27 series with a total of 122 ornament prints from the fund of the prominent Augsburg publisher Martin Engelbrecht.
