Geschenke für meine fleißigen und gut gesitteten Schüler : zur Belehrung und Unterhaltung, wie auch zur Übung im lesen der deutschen und lateinischen Druck-, Current- u. Kanzleyschrift ; mit 1 Kupfer
A German schoolbook of 1817 by Johann Zeugner, published by Franz Ferstl, meant to teach children reading in German and Latin scripts through instructive and entertaining stories. The single copper engraving shows Joseph in Egypt, captioned in a decorative script beneath the scene: a seated figure at a table or stone platform with robed and tunic-clad men gathered around, camels and hills in the distance, drawn in fine parallel hatching that suits historical costume and period narrative compositions.
