Die Mühle am Genfer-See oder Die Freunde aus Thüringen : ein Erzählungsbuch für Kindheit und Jugend ; Mit 14 illumin. Kupfern

Weingart, Johann Friedrich, Neumann, Carl, Engelhard, Christiane, Engelhard-Reyher Verlag · 1834 · Verlag von Karl Neumann · 14 pictures

A German children's storybook from 1834, published by Verlag von Karl Neumann with authorship credited to Johann Friedrich Weingart and others, offering a narrative for childhood and youth. Its fourteen hand-coloured copper engravings show Swiss and German landscapes, lakeside scenes, and costumed travellers in outdoor settings, with captions in German beneath each plate. A designer might take the flat, naive colouring and the tidy framed vignettes as a model for early nineteenth-century topographical picture-book style.
