Weihnachtsgabe für Knaben und Mädchen
This 1830 German Christmas gift book, published by the Brönner bookshop and written by Friedr. Jul. Eckhardt, was aimed at boys and girls. Its small engravings show woodland and garden scenes with trees, a fallen figure, a reclining man with a sheaf-like branch, and a lyre hung in a sapling, offering a designer simple, vignette-scaled motifs for pastoral or moralising compositions.
