Die Historien des Alten Testamentes : mit Titelkupfer
Die Historien des Alten Testamentes is a German children's Bible history of the Old Testament, written by Johann Hübner with engravings by Friedrich Christian Adler, published in Leipzig by J. C. Hinrichs in 1827 for religious instruction of young readers. Its three pictures are framed roundels of biblical scenes set in ornate borders with a small engraved title plate, and the full-page engraving of a sacrifice beneath a rainbow shows strong tonal contrast and clear figure grouping a designer could borrow for dramatic composition.
