Ariston oder Schilderung menschlicher Geistesgröße und Herzensgüte zur Belebung der Frömmigkeit und Vaterlandsliebe in jugendlichen Herzen : Von Joh[ann] Christ[oph] Vollbeding. Mit 9 illuminirten Kupfern von Meno Haas

Vollbeding, Johann Christoph, Haas, Meno · 1817 · Amelang · 5 pictures

A moral storybook for young readers, written by Johann Christoph Vollbeding and illustrated by Meno Haas, published by Amelang in 1817 in German-speaking lands to encourage piety and love of country in young hearts. Its hand-coloured copperplate engravings show scenes of charity, military life, and classical antiquity, and a designer might take from them the layered staging of small groups against architectural or landscape backdrops, with bright flat colour and expressive gesture.
