Der Mensch im Kriege oder Heldenmuth und Geistesgröße in Kriegsgeschichten aus alter und neuer Zeit : ein historisches Bilderbuch für die Jugend
Der Mensch im Kriege is an 1820 German illustrated history book for young readers, written by Friedrich Philipp Wilmsen and illustrated by Meno Haas, published in Berlin by Carl Friedrich Amelang. Its hand-coloured engravings show ancient and early modern battle scenes, with armoured commanders, spearmen, cavalry charges and fallen soldiers rendered in bold, simple outlines. A designer might take from them the stylised armour, plumed helmets, and dramatic horse-and-rider poses of early nineteenth-century martial illustration.
