Der regnichte Tag oder die Freuden der Arbeitsamkeit : mit 3 Kupfern [u. 8 andere Erzählungen]

Elliott, Mary · 1836 · bei A. Asher · 3 pictures

A German children's storybook of 1836 by Mary Elliott, published by A. Asher, with its title and eight other tales. Its three copper-engraved plates show a governess teaching girls at a window, a breakfast scene, and a gardener beside a gate as a woman and child stand on a porch. Designers can take from them the restrained, sentimental line work of early nineteenth-century domestic interiors, with dark hatching for shadow and simple gestures between figures.
