Illustration

Watercolor diagram showing rows of bricks and the space between the bricks. The face of the bricks shows a partially blue wall with a yellow, white, and black band around the center, as well as the space between with black fitters' marks. The fitters' marks match on the tops and sides of adjacent bricks to show where they go together. There is German text in handwritten pencil at the bottom of the illustration which reads "DIE GLASURZIEGEL-ORNAMENTE-BAND. IN FALLLAGE GEFUNDENE SCHICHTEN."
