Kleine Erzählungen : mit 6 Kupfern
A German children's storybook of 1809 with six hand-coloured copperplate engravings, published by Carl Maucke, for young readers. The four pictures show scenes of everyday rural and town life: women and children in a village, a boy rescued from water, and a gentleman in a blue coat greeting a family. Their flat colour washes and simple outlines suggest early nineteenth-century costume and domestic detail a designer could draw on for period settings.
