Die Milchbrüder, oder Gottes allweise, väterliche Fürsehung und strenge Gerechtigkeit in Leitung unserer Schicksale : eine religiös-moralische Erzählung als Lehre und Beyspiel für gute Kinder

Chimani, Leopold · 1825 · K.k. Schulbücher-Verschleiß-Administration · 1 picture

A German religious-moral children's tale by Leopold Chimani, published in 1825 by the Imperial-Royal school book administration in Vienna, written as a lesson and example for good children. Its single copperplate frontispiece-style plate shows a man with a long staff at left and two figures wrestling or embracing near a rocky shore, with a tall-masted sailing ship behind them under billowing sails. A designer might take its clean engraved line, strong diagonal of the rigging, and the contrast between the foreground figures and the distant ship for compositions built on maritime narrative.
