Das Vaterunser oder sieben Momente aus dem Leben eines Landmann's : in sieben bildlichen Darstellungen

Wihan, F. X, Kandler, Vilém · 1838 · Hennig · 8 pictures

A set of seven engraved plates published in 1838 by Hennig, drawn by F. X. Wihan and engraved by Vilém Kandler, telling the Lord's Prayer through scenes from a peasant's life for a German-reading audience. The pictures are monochrome line engravings in a framed rectangle with decorative floral and figural borders and a short German verse beneath each scene; a designer might take their dense hatching, naturalistic rural landscapes, and ornate frame compositions as models for narrative vignettes.
