Gott prüft - Gott schützt die Unschuld oder: 1. Geschichte des kleinen Schweizer Seppeli auf der Insel R. ; 2. Geschichte des armen Leinwebers. 3. Geschichte eines alten Mannes, welcher lernte, warum er in der Welt war ; ein Geschenk für gottesfürchtige Kinder
A devotional children's book by Christoph von Schmid, published in 1826 by Franz Wimmer, offering three moral stories as a gift for God-fearing children. The pictures are small black-and-white bookplate-style and decorative endpaper images: a heraldic ex libris with a cross-marked shield and banner lettering, a pale paper pattern of pink leaf shapes with green dotted arcs and a blue ink stroke, and a dark framed bookplate with a square lettering panel surrounded by small woodcut figures of characters and an open book. A designer might draw on the framed bookplate's border and figure-in-frame layout, or on the patterned paper's repeating motifs.
