Anna Roß : eine Erzählung für Kinder ; aus dem Englischen ; Mit 1 Titelkupfer

Kennedy, Grace, Geissler, Peter Carl · 1857 · Velhagen u. Klasing · 1 picture

Anna Roß is a children's story translated from English into German, written by Grace Kennedy with German edition work by Peter Carl Geissler, published by Velhagen u. Klasing in 1857. The single frontispiece engraving shows a horse-drawn carriage with a top-hatted man pointing ahead and a bonneted woman seated beside a small child in the foreground, set against a village of half-timbered houses and a church spire. A designer might take the crisp engraved line work, the dense tonal hatching on the carriage and foliage, and the rural village backdrop as a model for period storybook scenes.
