Luise, Königin von Preußen : Ein Vorbild weiblicher Tugenden ; Historische Erzählung für die Jugend von C. V. Derboek [d.i. Karl von der Boeck.] ; Mit Farbendruck-Illustrationen nach Original-Zeichnungen von Gustav Annemüller

Boeck, Karl, von der, Annemüller, Gustav · 1890 · [Drewitz] · 5 pictures

A German youth book of 1890 by Karl von der Boeck, writing as C. V. Derboek, with hand-coloured lithograph plates after drawings by Gustav Annemüller, presenting Queen Luise of Prussia as a model of feminine virtue. The four plates show a costumed Napoleonic-era court scene with a uniformed officer, a woman carrying a tray in an interior, a formal reception with bouquets, and a garden bench conversation under a large tree. A designer could draw on their soft, period costume detail, muted hand-colour palette, and genteel staging of figures in interiors and gardens.
