[40 Stück zum alttestamentlichen Canon gehörig] : [mit 40 Lithogr.]

1848 · Neupert · 37 pictures

A set of forty lithographed plates from 1848, published by Neupert, illustrating scenes from the Old Testament canon for a German readership. The pictures are monochrome line prints with numbered captions in the corners and crowded biblical scenes of embraces, a kneeling supplicant beside a tent, a fallen figure with a soldier raising a weapon, and a seated ruler receiving petitioners in a tiled hall. A designer might take from them the clean hatched line work, the architectural interiors, and the period costume of robes, helmets and spears.
