Lebensgeschichte Ludwigs IX. von Frankreich, des Heiligen : Für die Jugend bearbeitet ; Mit einem Kupfer
A German youth biography of Louis IX of France, the saintly king, published in 1831 by Verlag von Rudolph Friedrich Hergt and written for young readers, with one engraved frontispiece by Carl Lebrun. The engraving shows the king kneeling in prayer at a bed, his head bowed over clasped hands, in a draped interior with a fur-trimmed robe and a gilt-edged book, captioned S. Ludovicus. A designer could take its dim, cross-hatched engraving style and its devotional mood, with heavy drapery framing a single figure. The second image is only a red library stamp, which is not part of the book's art.
