Wilmsen, Friedrich Philipp, Haas, Meno · 1816 · Carl Friedrich Amelang · 6 pictures

An 1816 German historical picture book for young readers, written by Friedrich Philipp Wilmsen and illustrated with seven copperplate engravings by Meno Haas, published in Berlin by Carl Friedrich Amelang. The hand-coloured plates show ancient and modern battle episodes with classical armour, tents, and mountain passes. A designer could take the warm red drapery, bold figure groupings, and dramatic crowd scenes as models for historical costume and staging.
