Historische Denkwürdigkeiten : eine angenehme und lehrreiche Unterhaltung für die Jugend. Mit 8 fein illuminirten Kupfern
A German juvenile history book of 1832 published by Trowitzsch & Sohn, offering historical anecdotes as entertaining and instructive reading for young readers and illustrated with eight hand-coloured copper engravings. The pictures show costumed figures in outdoor scenes: a ruler in ermine-trimmed robes among armoured guards with pennants and pikes, a mounted noble with a plumed helmet, and rows of soldiers in red-plumed shakos. Their flat, saturated hand colouring and bold costume silhouettes suggest a designer could borrow period dress, pageant-style crowds and simple colour blocking.
