Mit 16 Holzschnitten [von Ludwig Burger]

Burger, Ludwig · 1849 · Decker · 14 pictures

An illustrated German book of 1849 with sixteen woodcuts by Ludwig Burger, published by Decker, showing scenes from the legend of Joan of Arc. The woodcuts are dense black-and-white line engravings of crowded medieval armies, mounted knights, courtly gatherings and battle melees, with strong diagonal movement and heavy hatched shadows that a designer could use for dramatic historical scenes or heavy engraved texture.
