Die beiden Brüder : zwei christliche Erzählungen für die Jugend ; mit 2 colorirten Bildern

Staudenmeyer, Karl August · 1860 · Levi · 2 pictures

A German Christian juvenile storybook of two tales, published by Levi in 1860 and written by Karl August Staudenmeyer, illustrated with two hand-coloured plates. The first plate shows a man crouched in dense foliage watching a castle and tents on a hillside, while the second shows a blue-coated figure wrestling a dog beside a fortified wall. A designer might take the simple layered woodland framing and the soft, naive hand-colouring as a model for storybook scenes with lively, small-scale action.
