Weihnachtsbilder : eine Festgabe ; mit einem Stahlstich
Weihnachtsbilder, a German Christmas gift book compiled by Karl Herloßsohn and published by Baumgärtner in 1847, intended for family holiday giving. Its pictures are a decorative title page of cherubs, a Christmas tree and a family gathering framed by foliage, and a rotated steel-engraved plate of a figure in a cloak beside a seated woman, which show how festive domestic scenes were arranged for a designer to borrow compositional framing from.
