Die Waise, oder merkwürdige Begebenheiten der jungen Gräfin Therese von Wildenek : eine belehrende und unterhaltende Geschichte für junge Mädchen ; als Gegenstück zur Erzählung des Christoph Schmid: "Das verlorene Kind"
An 1834 German didactic novel by Franz Wimmer, published by the Verlag der Vereinsbuchhandlung, written as an instructive and entertaining story for young girls and as a companion to Christoph Schmid's The Lost Child. The plate shows an interior with a checkered tile floor and framed paintings, where a gentleman with a cane, a woman in a long gown gesturing toward a religious painting, and a young man in a long coat stand together, with a German caption printed along the bottom edge. A designer could take from it the formal domestic staging of nineteenth-century German book illustration, with its clear figure grouping and architectural perspective.
