Fridolin, oder der Gang nach dem Eisenhammer

Schiller, Friedrich · 1825 · Endter · 12 pictures

A hand-coloured German picture sheet from 1825 illustrating Schiller's ballad Fridolin, published by Endter, probably for a general readership learning the poem. The four scenes show a page in a flowing red-and-blue gown, a count on a balcony, a procession of armoured riders, and miners digging into a wall; a designer could take the bold flat colour, costume silhouettes and the staged narrative of sequential panels.
