Historisches Bilderbüchlein oder Weltgeschichte : Mit achtzehn Kupfern

Campe, Joachim Heinrich · 1829 · in der Schulbuchhandlung · 18 pictures

A German historical picture book of world history by Joachim Heinrich Campe, published in 1829 by a school bookseller and meant for children, with eighteen copperplate engravings. The engravings are rotated sideways on the scan and show crowded groups of figures in landscapes, with ancient and biblical scenes and dramatic gestures, giving a designer a sense of early nineteenth-century narrative staging and dense figure composition.
