Mit dem Bildnisse Gutaliuths [Kupfer von Karl Buddeus] und [2 statt 3] Kupfern [von Christian Gottfried Heinrich Geißler]

Glatz, Jakob, Buddeus, Carl, Christian Gottfried Heinrich, Geißler · 1803 · Voß · 4 pictures

Published in Leipzig in 1803 by Voß, this German volume by Jakob Glatz collects engraved plates by Carl Buddeus and Christian Gottfried Heinrich Geißler, apparently for a school or general readership. The pictures are fine-line copper engravings: a domestic scene of a uniformed father with children and a mother, a mounted officer waving a flag before infantry, and an oval bust portrait of a man in profile with long hair and a high collar. A designer could take the restrained oval portrait framing, the crisp hatched shading, and the vignette-style plate layout with italic captions.
