Mit einem Kupfer

Campe, Joachim Heinrich · 1805 · In der Schulbuchhandlung · 1 picture

A German children's book by Joachim Heinrich Campe, published in 1805 by the Schulbuchhandlung, likely for young readers in a school-book context. The single copperplate engraving shows a woman on a stone quay lifting a child while others reach toward a boat and a crowd on the shore, with a decorative chevron border below. A designer might take from it the crisp hatched line work of period copperplate engraving and the tight stacking of figures against a stone wall.
