Die Ostereier : eine Erzählung zum Ostergeschenke für Kinder
A German children's Easter story, Die Ostereier, by Christoph von Schmid, published in 1825 by Carl Wilhelm Medau as a holiday gift for children. The single picture is a fine line engraving of a woman and a girl kneeling in prayer at a stone grotto or shrine beneath dense foliage, with a figure in a long robe standing at the right edge. Its dense hatching and soft tonal shading in the foliage and robes suggest a designer could borrow the sacred, pastoral mood and the layered engraved texture for historical or devotional-themed work.
