Biblische Geschichten des alten und neuen Testaments für die Jugend
A Swiss children's Bible history published in 1843 by Verlag von J. Tribelhorn, written by Peter Scheitlin for young readers, with numbered copperplate-style engravings of scenes from the Old and New Testaments. The pictures are small, framed, and crowded with figures in draped robes, interiors with curtains and columns, and gestures of instruction or wonder, offering a designer compositional models for staging groups of figures within a rectangular frame and for captions set beneath or beside the image.
