Mit 1 Titelkupfer
A German book published in 1839 by Franz Heinrich Köhler, identified only by its title page note 'Mit 1 Titelkupfer' (with one engraved frontispiece), suggesting a general illustrated edition. The first picture is a bookplate-style woodcut of an open book labelled L.B. beside a seated reader, globe and stacked volumes; the second is a copperplate engraving of a turbaned traveller leading a camel beside a kneeling woman on a rocky slope. A designer could take the bookplate's compact emblem composition and the engraving's tonal, Orientalist-style landscape with its strong diagonals.
