Neuestes Bilder Buch aus der biblischen Geschichte des Alten und neuen Testamentes : zum Nutzen und Vergnügen für die Jugend

1820 · bei F. Paterno · 25 pictures

A hand-coloured German picture book of Bible stories from the Old and New Testaments, published in 1820 by F. Paterno for young readers' instruction and pleasure. Each plate pairs a framed copperplate-style scene with a rhymed German caption beneath, and the bright flat colours and tidy compositions show how early nineteenth-century devotional print organised narrative into repeating panels a designer could borrow for a sequence or storyboard layout.
