Märchen und Erzählungen für die Jugend : Mit illuminirten Kupfern
A German children's storybook of fairy tales and tales for young readers, published in 1822 by J. G. Hasselberg with hand-coloured copper-plate engravings. The pictures show costumed courtly scenes, a mother and small boy in Empire dress, a kneeling woman before an eastern ruler under a parasol, and a horse-drawn coach on a country road. A designer might take their crisp outlines, flat bright washes and period costume for historical colour palettes.
