Leaves for architecture and handicrafts

Blätter für Architektur und Kunsthandwerk was the title of a specialist journal for architecture and arts and crafts that was published from 1888 to 1917/1922 and was designed as a portfolio with loose picture panels and a text supplement with brief explanations. Initially, the portfolios appeared biweekly, later monthly. The portfolios initially contained three to five panels with illustrations reproduced from photographs , later a year consisted of 120 panels. The magazine was founded and edited by Paul Graef , it was conceived as a supplement to other, more technically oriented periodicals and dealt almost exclusively with architectural design. The magazine contained the Anzeiger für Architektur und Kunsthandwerk as a supplement from 1898 to 1902, and then from 1903 to 1917 the Anzeiger für Architektur, Kunsthandwerk und Bau-Industrie .

After the sheets were published one after the other by the Berlin publishers Braun, Max Spielmeyer and Julius Becker, the independent publishing house of Blätter für Architektur und Kunsthandwerk GmbH , Steinmetzstraße 46 in Berlin W 57 (1910) came into being. The boards were produced using collotype technology by the W. Neumann printing company in Berlin.

The magazine mostly showed buildings by important architects of their time, such as B. Friedrich Adler , Joseph Durm , Friedrich Hitzig , Ludwig Eisenlohr , Heinrich Jassoy , Alfred Messel , Hermann Muthesius or Paul Wallot , mostly from Germany. Over longer periods of time, older, art-historically interesting buildings were also presented in parallel. The contents turned to the popular scientific illustrated priorities architectural history , art history and monument customer and artistically significant structural engineering both artists in the construction industry as well as in art scholars and art lovers.
