Ueber die Liebe gegen das andere Geschlecht : Ein Lesebuch für Mädchen und Jünglinge
A 1782 German reader on love between the sexes for girls and young men, written by Johann Kern and published by Heinrich Steiner and Kompagnie, held by the Swiss children's and youth media institute. Its engravings are small, dense black-and-white line prints: a group of four figures in 18th-century dress, a domestic interior with a seated woman and standing men, and a cupid with bow and arrow used as a vignette. A designer might take the period costume silhouettes, the rococo cupid ornament, and the compact tailpiece style for historical or decorative work.
