Bilder aus den polnischen Freiheitskämpfen älterer und neuester Zeit : ein Geschenk für die Jugend ; mit 6 Kupfern
An 1834 German children's book of pictures from the Polish freedom struggles, old and recent, published by Mäcken and written by Eduard Farnow as a gift for young readers. Its hand-coloured copper engravings show cavalry charges, burning streets and fallen horsemen in a crowded, lively style that a designer could draw on for period battle scenes, dramatic diagonal compositions and early nineteenth-century uniform detail.
