Panorama des Österreichischen Kaiserstaats : ein Buch zur Bildung des Verstandes, Veredlung des Herzens, Belebung des sittlichen Gefühls ... Mit 1 [kolor.] Titelkupfer [von J. Schindler del., Seher sc.]
A German-language Austrian educational book of 1837 titled Panorama des Österreichischen Kaiserstaats, compiled by Leopold Chimani and illustrated by Johann Josef Schindler and Joseph Seher, published in Vienna by the Pichler widow's press for young readers seeking moral and intellectual instruction. Its single hand-coloured frontispiece shows a startled household: a woman with a baby turns toward a man aiming a long gun at a doorway while children cling to her skirts, in a plain interior with a tiled stove and jugs. A designer might take the strong diagonal of the raised rifle, the crowded tangle of figures, and the warm, slightly worn hand colouring typical of early nineteenth-century Viennese prints.
