Bilder-Bibel für die Jugend : Biblische Geschichte des Alten und Neuen Testaments in den Worten der heiligen Schrift ; Mit belehrenden und erbaulichen Anmerkungen
A German illustrated Bible for young readers, written by Albert Knapp and published in 1856 by J. L. Lotzbeck, presenting Old and New Testament stories in scripture wording with instructive notes. Its pages are engraved plates, each a central scene framed by smaller vignettes with German captions. A designer might take the dense, tidy layout of a central scene ringed by small roundels, with figures in period dress, rocky landscapes, and crowded group compositions in the manner of mid-nineteenth-century religious book engraving.
