Die verwaisten Brüder : Mit 3 Kupfern
A German-language children's story from 1836, published in Berlin by A. Asher and attributed to Mary Elliott, with three copper-plate engravings, apparently a translation of an English moral tale about orphaned brothers. The three plates show a boy pointing the way to a pedlar with a pack, two boys seated by a fence while a third stands with a hat, and an elderly man in a chair by a window addressed by two young men in dark coats. The engravings have crisp line hatching and clear period costume, useful to a designer wanting early nineteenth-century figure poses and rural setting detail.
