Der Freischütz : Schauspiel in 4 Aufzügen ; zur Aufführung von Kindern und auf Puppen-Theatern
A German children's theatre script from 1841, published by Winckelmann and written by Karl Gustav Winckelmann, adapting Der Freischütz as a four-act play for child performers and puppet stages. The cover picture shows a decorative framed title panel reading Kinder-Theater, with a puppet booth at top, a costumed hunter and a figure in a feathered hat at the lower corners, and a small girl in a full skirt at centre. A designer might take the ornate scrolled border and the lively, simple woodcut figures as models for playful period folk-style title pages.
