Gleichnisse Jesu in 12 Bildern
A German illustrated Bible book, the Gleichnisse Jesu in 12 Bildern, published in 1898 by Schriftenvertriebsanstalt as a pictorial Bible for lay readers. The pictures are framed, arched wood-engraved-style scenes with German Bible verses printed below and text columns beside them, showing biblical commandments as everyday rural and domestic moments. A designer might take the arched frames, the bold black-line figure work, and the captions set in blackletter-style type as a model for framed narrative panels.
