Ein Neujahrs-Geschenk, der Luzernischen Jugend gewiedmet
A New Year's gift printed in 1779 in Lucerne by J.F.J. Wyssing, dedicated by Joseph Anton Felix von Balthasar to the young people of that city. The pictures are small wood-engraved ornamental vignettes of flower urns, baskets and acanthus scrolls, with bold dark outlines on a warm paper ground, offering a designer ready-made decorative tailpieces and border motifs for period-style layouts.
