Des jungen Sängers Harfentöne : eine Ausw. von Liedern u. Ged. mit bes. Rücks. für Gedächtniß-Deklamationsübungen ges. u. d. Jugend gew. ; mit 4 Bildern
A German children's anthology of songs and poems for memorising and recitation, published in 1839 by Bagel for young readers, with four engraved plates. The pictures are monochrome line engravings with dense hatching: an old woman tending a sleeping child in a cradle beside a candle, an old bearded man embracing a younger man in a thatched doorway, and a figure in a dim stone cell leaning toward a lion. A designer could take the strong chiaroscuro and cross-hatched shading as a model for dramatic, low-light narrative vignettes.
