Die Eroberung von Jerusalem durch die Kreuzfahrer : eine Erz. für d. Jugend ; mit 4 color. Bildern
A children's illustrated storybook from 1847, written by Friedrich Hoffmann and published by Bagel, telling the conquest of Jerusalem by the Crusaders in German for young readers. Its four hand-coloured lithographs show armoured knights, a bearded monk holding a cross, and a turbaned Saracen warrior in dramatic poses. A designer could draw from its stiff, theatrical staging and bold flat colour blocks of red, green and blue for historical or period-costume work.
