Die Historien des Alten Testamentes : mit 1 Titelkupfer

Hübner, Johann, Adler, Friedrich Christian · 1818 · bei J. C. Hinrichs · 1 picture

A German Bible history for children printed in 1818 by J. C. Hinrichs, compiled by Johann Hübner and Friedrich Christian Adler from the Old Testament. Its single frontispiece engraving shows a group of robed figures gathered in a wooded landscape beside a ruined structure, with a cluster of onlookers and a foreground of scattered objects, rendered in fine etched line with soft tonal shading that a designer could use for classical period scene composition and dense crowd staging.
