Hold, Ernst · 1818 · bey J. S. Hinrichs · 3 pictures

A German children's storybook of 1818, published by J. S. Hinrichs and credited to Ernst Hold, with three hand-coloured copperplate engravings. The first plate shows a boy reaching down to rescue a child from a stream beneath wooded rocks, while the others show fishing on a lakeshore and a mother with children on a bench beneath a house window. The scenes are simple and outdoors, with soft washes of green, blue and red that a designer could borrow for period-style palettes.
