Von den Träumen und Nachtwandlern
A German-language treatise on dreams and sleepwalkers by Justus Christian Hennings, published in 1784 by the heirs of Carl Ludolf Hoffmann and held in the library of C.G. Jung. The two pictures are a black-and-white woodcut bookplate with a sunrise, a kneeling figure and a standing figure clasping hands under a Latin motto, and a small rough woodcut tailpiece of a cherub beside a potted palm on a plinth; a designer could take the bookplate's strong silhouettes and radiating sun rays as a model for bold graphic emblems.
