Nachtbilder

Braun, Kaspar, Lichtenheld, Wilhelm, Götz, Bernhard · 1853 · 1 picture

Nachtbilder is a German plate from the Münchener Bilderbogen, a series of single-sheet woodcut prints issued in Munich, here dated 1853 and aimed at a general popular audience. The page shows four night scenes: a moonlit ruined tower, a ruined castle on a hill, a church front lit by moon with a dark tower behind, and a lantern-lit burial among rock walls, rendered in fine black-and-white line work with soft shading that a designer could use for moody night compositions or atmospheric ink illustration.
