Erzählungen : Größtentheils nach wahren Begebenheiten bearbeitet ; ein Lesebuch für Kinder von 9-12 Jahren ; mit Kupfern
A German children's reader of stories largely based on true events, compiled by J. D. H. and published by Ebner in 1840 for readers aged nine to twelve, with copperplate illustrations. The hand-coloured plates show ordinary domestic and workshop scenes: boys hauling timber through a cramped loft, a man with a whip in a doorway, and a crowd of boys struggling with poles, which a designer could use for lively, narrative group compositions with strong diagonals and tight interior spaces.
