Auserwählte Erzählungen für die Jugend zur Erweckung edler Gesinnungen : Mit 8 fein illuminirten Kupfern : Fremde Völker in ihren National-Trachten und Scenen zu den Erzählungen gehörig, vorstellend
An 1820 German children's storybook published by Trowitzsch & Sohn, offering moral tales for young readers and illustrated with eight hand-coloured copperplate engravings of foreign peoples in national costume. The plates pair pairs of figures in regional dress, such as a red-gowned woman beside a man in a blue fur-trimmed coat, with small genre scenes of domestic interiors and street life. A designer could draw on the saturated flat colour, the stiff framed double-panel layout, and the ethnographic costume detail for historical costume references.
