Historischer Bilder Bibel ... Theil: Erster Theil, in sich haltend Die Abbildung der Historien aller Patriarchen Deß j Buchs Mose
This 1705 German illustrated Bible, published in Augsburg by Johann Ulrich Kraus, presents the histories of the patriarchs from the first book of Moses for a Protestant readership, with verse captions beneath each engraving. The pictures are etched landscapes with small biblical figures set among trees, rivers and ruins, framed by rococo cartouches of scrolls, putti, garlands and medallions that a designer could borrow for ornamental frames and title pages.
