Rettung aus Gefahren : Erzählungen für die reifere Jugend von einem ihrer Freunde ; mit 6 [col.] Illustrationen

1858 · P, C. Geißler's Verlag · 6 pictures

This is a German illustrated story collection, published by P. C. Geißler's Verlag in 1858, titled Rettung aus Gefahren and written as tales for older young readers by a friend of the young. Its six hand-coloured lithographs show jungle rescues, Alpine travellers, a courtly intrigue, and a desert caravan, rendered in soft tinted tones with loose, atmospheric backgrounds that suggest ways to layer painted color over line-based scenes.
