Schweizerische Blüthen für Geist und Herz : Festgabe für die liebe Jugend : Gesammelte Erzählungen, Gedichte und historische Skizzen ; mit 7 Kupfern
Schweizerische Blüthen für Geist und Herz is a Swiss gift book of stories, poems and historical sketches for young readers, published in 1845 by J.C. Schabelitz with seven copperplate engravings, edited by H. Danzer and Wilhelm Nilson. Its plates are dark, tonal engravings of Alpine life: travellers in a snowstorm, a monastery interior with clergy at an altar, and a street scene with figures in a horse-drawn cart. A designer might borrow the moody crosshatched shadows and the staging of figures against snow and stone for winter or mountain imagery.
