Der heil'ge Christ : das rechte Weihnachtsbuch für gute Kinder ; mit mehr. color. Holzschn.

1844 · Teubner · 34 pictures

A German Christmas picture book published by Teubner in 1844, titled Der heil'ge Christ, aimed at good children, with several hand-coloured woodcuts. The pictures shown are decorative initial letters set within ornate frames of foliage, scrolls, and grotesque heads, with a shield-shaped panel holding a large letter, which suggests strong borders and capital-letter devices for a designer working on period-style headers or monograms.
