Hoffmann, Friedrich · 1867 · W. Adolf · 46 pictures

A commemorative book for young readers, written by Friedrich Hoffmann and published in 1867 by W. Adolf, recounting Prussia's 1866 war for German unification in words and pictures. The four portraits here are wood-engraved head-and-shoulders likenesses of military officers in uniform, with medals, sashes and epaulettes, printed on a textured paper ground that a designer could use for period portrait studies of nineteenth-century military dress.
