Der Graf Oroslaw : 2 christliche Erzählung für die Jugend ; mit 2 color. Bildern

Staudenmeyer, Karl August · 1858 · Friedlein · 2 pictures

An 1858 German Christian story for young readers, written by Karl August Staudenmeyer and published by Friedlein, with two hand-coloured plates. The pictures show a woman in a blue crinoline dress beside a half-timbered cottage on a village lane, and a green sleigh drawn by a pair of horses through snow near a fence and a distant church. A designer could draw on the flat, naive colour and the mid-nineteenth-century costume and rural winter scenery for period or folk-style work.
