Lehrreiche kleine Erzählungen für Kinder : ein Lesebüchlein für Volksschulen
A German children's reader of 1830 by Christoph von Schmid, with illustrations by Johann Josef Schindler, published by Anton Mausberger for village primary schools. The single plate is a copperplate engraving of two figures on a palm-fringed shore pointing toward a canoe of rescued castaways, captioned 'Das lebere Land!' Its strong diagonal lean from foreground figures to boat and sea suits designers studying dramatic rescue staging and early engraved line work.
