Fata Morgana oder die Trugbilder des Lebens : frei nach dem Englischen
A German-language illustrated book, Fata Morgana oder die Trugbilder des Lebens, published by the Verlag des Tractathauses in 1871 and adapted freely from English sources for a general German readership. Its black-and-white wood-engraved pictures show 18th-century costume scenes of fashionable figures, a man trying on clothes before a mirror, an elderly man seated at a desk beside a standing companion, and a crowned ruler with attendants in a crowded hall, with plain linework and strong contrast that a designer could use for period costume or theatrical composition.
