A German-language book from 1839, published by Franz Heinrich Köhler, with a single engraved frontispiece per the record title. The first picture is an engraved scene of a helmeted warrior ascending steps toward kneeling and standing women in a colonnaded hall, with a caption beneath in German; the second is a bookplate-style woodcut showing an open book labelled L.B., a globe, stacked books and a seated reader in an arched niche. A designer could draw on the classical drapery, architectural framing and the compact emblematic composition of the bookplate.
