Der Achatschleifer und Oswald : 2 Lebensbilder für die reifere Jugend
A German children's and youth book of two life stories, published by Flemming in 1859 and written by Marie Mindermann, with plates by Rudolf Geissler, aimed at older young readers. The four tinted lithographs show a seated scene at a table with an elderly woman and a young man, a girl adjusting a boy's costume in a workshop, a boy seated at a large wheel while a sailor looks on, and a man carrying a child through a dim rock cave. A designer might take their soft grey-brown wash, strong figure grouping and interior settings with mechanical details.
