Neue unterhaltende Geschichten oder Spiegel der Sittenlehre für gute Kinder. Mit 6 illuminirten Kupfern [Joh. Voltz inv.; G. Vogel sc.]

Voltz, Johann Michael, Vogel, Georg · 1821 · bei Bauer und Raspe · 6 pictures

A moral storybook for children, published in 1821 by Bauer und Raspe, with illustrations designed by Johann Michael Voltz and engraved by Georg Vogel in a German-speaking setting. The hand-coloured copperplates show everyday scenes of manners and charity: a well-dressed young man reaching toward an elderly man, a family gathered around a sickbed in a half-timbered room, a child kissing an older woman's hand in a parlour with framed portraits, and boys with a dog and cart beneath a flowering tree. A designer could draw on their crisp outlines, flat pastel washes and tidy domestic staging for vintage children's-book or moral-lesson graphics.
