A German-language illustrated book issued in 1850 by the Dresden court printing house of C. C. Meinhold and Sons, with four hand-coloured copper-plate engravings credited to Moritz Heger. The pictures are small genre scenes of uniformed soldiers, a miner's greeting, and an old harpist in a street, with captions in German. A designer could draw on their restrained period palette of blue, red, and yellow costume details and their compact, self-contained vignette compositions.
