Der Schiffsjunge und sein Lebensgang : eine Geschichte, der Jugend und dem Volke erzählt ; mit 4 Abbildungen
A German illustrated story for young readers and common people, published in 1860 by Verlag von Kreidel & Niedner and written by W. O. von Horn, titled Der Schiffsjunge und sein Lebensgang. The two plates are sepia-toned engravings: one shows a sickroom with a seated young man and two older men in a plain interior, the other a small open boat with two men pulling a figure from rough sea. A designer might take the moody tonal shading of the sea and the simple, staged poses of the figures as models for narrative scenes.
