Mit 1 [kol.] Kupfer

Campe, Joachim Heinrich · 1828 · In der Schulbuchhandlung · 1 picture

A German children's book by Joachim Heinrich Campe, published in 1828 by the Schulbuchhandlung, likely intended for schoolchildren. The single hand-coloured copper engraving shows a group of people on a stone quay reaching toward a rescue while a mounted figure and crowd watch from the right. Designers could draw on its bright, flat hand-tinted palette and the dramatic gesture of the crowded figures pointing across the water.
