Der arme Heinrich : eine Erzählung für Kinder von 8 bis 12 Jahren

Gross, Amalie, von · 1846 · Verlag von Gustav Heckenast · 2 pictures

Der arme Heinrich is an 1846 children's story for readers aged eight to twelve, written by Amalie von Gross and published by Gustav Heckenast in Pest. Its two hand-coloured plates show a ragged figure walking a path with onlookers, and a woman in a dark shawl and wide skirt beside a sick man in a bed under a sloped attic ceiling. A designer could draw on the soft, muted colour washes, the period costume silhouettes, and the simple staging of figures against plain landscape or interior.
