Die Beatushöhle : Schauspiel mit Gesang ; in vier Aufzügen ; nach der bekannten Erzählung gleichen Titels

Schmid, Christoph, von, Woller, J · 1833 · Schlosser · 1 picture

A German-language stage play with songs in four acts, based on a well-known tale of the same name, written by Christoph von Schmid with illustrations by J. Woller, published by Schlosser in 1833. The single plate shows an engraved scene in a rocky cave mouth where a robed elder meets two younger figures on a path, with a moonlit landscape and distant buildings behind. A designer could take from it the dense cross-hatched engraving style and the use of a dark rocky frame opening onto a pale landscape.
