Auswahl von Fabeln für die Jugend : Mit illuminirten Kupfern
A hand-coloured fable collection for young readers, compiled by Christian Gottfried Morasch and published in 1804 in German, with illuminated copperplate engravings. The four pictures show small vignettes of trees, a fawn, a squirrel and a gardener at a fence, each set on a loose patch of ground with a pale tinted wash. A designer could take from them the simple, open composition of single trees and small scenes set against blank paper, a model for light botanical or pastoral spot illustrations.
