Geschichtliches Bilderbüchlein oder die älteste Weltgeschichte in Bildern und Versen
A German illustrated primer of the oldest world history, compiled by Joachim Heinrich Campe and published in 1830 by the Schulbuchhandlung for schoolchildren. The engravings are rotated on the page and show crowded biblical and ancient scenes with robed figures, gesturing groups, and classical architecture, offering a designer dense compositions with strong diagonal movement and dramatic lighting in the manner of early nineteenth-century line engraving.
