Mit dem Bildnisse Salzmanns und mehreren Kupfern ([von] J. Penzel)

Glatz, Jakob, Penzel, Johann Georg · 1807 · Voß · 4 pictures

This is a German illustrated book published by Voß in Leipzig in 1807, with plates after paintings by Jakob Glatz engraved by Johann Georg Penzel, and a portrait of Christian Gotthilf Salzmann, director of the Schnepfenthal educational institute. The pictures are fine engravings in a tidy neoclassical manner, with genre scenes of domestic and social situations, a funeral with draped figures, and an oval portrait; a designer might draw on their restrained staging and clean line for historical costume and interior references.
