Historischer Heldensaal : Für die reifere Jugend
A German historical anthology titled Historischer Heldensaal, compiled by Karl Austerlitz and Gábor Melegh and published by Otto Wigand in 1832 for older young readers. The single engraved plate shows a seated woman in a fitted gown writing at a draped table while a attendant or companion in a headdress leans over a tall chair behind her, with framed pictures on the wall and a heavy curtain at right. A designer could draw on its fine line engraving, interior staging and the soft tonal shading of the drapery and walls.
