Das Lotterielos : 2 christliche Erzählungen für die Jugend ; mit 2 colorirten Bildern
A German Christian storybook for young readers, written by Karl August Staudenmeyer and published in 1858 by G. H. Friedlein, containing two tales with hand-coloured plates. The first plate shows a seated man in a hunting-style scene: a hunter in green with a rifle and a dog gesture toward a reclining companion in a forest clearing, while a figure walks far off along a path. The second shows a man in a red cloak and wide-brimmed hat knocking at a arched wooden door of a courtyard, with a woman leaning from a balcony above a climbing vine and potted agave plants. A designer might take the flat, soft hand colouring, the dense foliage framing, and the stagey gestures for narrative scenes.
