Die Beatushöhle : eine Erzählung für die reifere Jugend ; mit einem Titelkupfer

Bauberger, Wilhelm · 1833 · Wolff · 1 picture

Die Beatushöhle is a German youth novella by Wilhelm Bauberger, published by Wolff in 1833 for older young readers, carrying a single engraved frontispiece. The plate shows three figures in a moonlit mountain scene: a hooded woman and a boy with a staff at left, and a bearded old man with a lantern-like glow at right beside a cave entrance. Its dramatic night lighting, layered rocky landscape and tight figure grouping offer a designer a model for atmospheric, moody tonal contrast in narrative art.
