Bilder aus der Weltgeschichte : Eine Reihe chronologischer Darstellungen aus der Geschichte aller Zeiten
A German illustrated history book by Heinrich Eduard Maukisch, published in 1836 by Fischer und Fuchs, arranged as a chronological series of scenes from world history for young readers. The hand-coloured engravings are small, framed, and set on plain paper margins, showing dramatic episodes of combat, crowds, and horsemen in period dress. A designer could draw on their bold outlines, flat saturated colour, and staged gestures of swordplay and falling figures for vintage narrative graphics.
