Suggestions for the Decoration of a Door and Window Frame, Plate 2 from 'Auβzierungen zu Thüren u. Fenster sehr nutzlich zu gebrauchen.' — Johann Sebastian Müller|Martin Engelbrecht|Jeremias Wachsmuth

Page from an album containing 27 series with a total of 122 ornament prints from the fund of the prominent Augsburg publisher Martin Engelbrecht. The binding describes the content as cartouches (after the first series in the album) but it is much more varied, ranging from rocaille ornament and cartouches to designs for altars and pulpits, as well as allegorical compositions in which rococo ornament is featured, all by well-known Rococo designers working in Augsburg.
