Auserlesene Parabeln : zur Bildung des Geistes und Herzens ; mit 1 Titelkupfer
An 1831 German collection of parables for boys and girls, edited by Heinrich Rebau and published by a court bookseller, aimed at moral and spiritual education. The first picture is a copper-engraved frontispiece of a bearded patriarch in a long robe pointing up at a star-filled night sky beside a young companion, captioned 'Die Augen Gottes sehen Alles'. The second is a decorative title page framed by a dense border of stylised foliage and floral ornament with lettering set in blackletter type, useful for period borders and gothic display type.
