Tugendbilder : Geschichtliche Erzählungen, besonders aus dem Jugendleben edler Menschen ; mit 4 Kupfern
Tugendbilder is a German illustrated book of historical tales about the youthful lives of noble people, written by Friedrich Gunemann and published in 1837 by Bauer & Raspe for young readers. Its four hand-coloured copperplate engravings show armoured knights and courtiers at a castle gate, a schoolroom with boys and a stern gentleman, a workshop scene labelled Prinz Ludwig v. Burgund, and an embrace beside a waterfall, with crisp outlines, flat bright washes and simple staging a designer could borrow for period costume or narrative vignettes.
