Wie Heinrich von Eichenfels zur Erkenntniß Gottes kam : eine Erzählung für Kinder und Kinderfreunde

Schmid, Christoph, von · 1840 · Levrault · 6 pictures

An 1840 German children's storybook by Christoph von Schmid, published by Levrault, telling how a young knight, Heinrich von Eichenfels, came to know God, and aimed at children and their parents. Its engraved plates are finely stippled and tonal, showing armoured knights, a bedside scene with a seated woman, a figure lying on a rocky ledge, and a rowdy tavern of men around a barrel, with a designer able to take their dramatic staging and soft shading.
