Meynier, Johann Heinrich · 1825 · Etlinger · 6 pictures

An 1825 German children's book by Johann Heinrich Meynier, published by Etlinger, offering stories about the customs and costumes of foreign peoples for young readers. Its hand-coloured copperplate plates, rotated sideways on the scan, show groups of figures in regional dress and arms, with German captions along the bottom edge that a designer could use for ethnographic costume reference and period palette ideas.
