Memoiren eines bleiernen Soldaten : für Knaben von 8 bis 10 Jahren ; Mit 6 illuminirten Kupfern
This 1844 German children's book, Memoiren eines bleiernen Soldaten, was written by Amalie von Gross and published by Baumgärtner's Buchhandlung for boys aged eight to ten, with six hand-coloured copper engravings. The pictures show middle-class domestic interiors with a mother, children, and a toy soldier's adventures, drawn in crisp outlines and flat pastel washes that suggest period nursery and parlour decor for costume or vintage-styled design.
