Historische Erzählungen aus der Geschichte von England : Chronologisch geordnet ; Für Kinder ; Aus dem Englischen, nach der zehnten Ausgabe übersetzt, und mit Kupfern bereichert
An 1834 German children's history of England, translated from John Wilson Croker's English text and published by Georg Franz with copperplate engravings arranged chronologically. The four plates show costumed scenes of royal and public events: Mary Stuart led between halberdiers, a crowned figure receiving courtiers in a Gothic hall, a battlefield surrender beneath a great tree, and Perkin Warbeck among a crowd in a street. A designer could take their crisp hatched line work, period costume, and staged crowd compositions as models for historical scenes.
