Luther, Martin, Peschel, Carl Gottlieb, Gaber, August · 1852 · Meinhold · 24 pictures

Der kleine Catechismus is Martin Luther's 1529 catechism, here issued in 1852 by Meinhold, with 24 original drawings by Carl Gottlieb Peschel cut in woodblock by August Gaber for German Lutheran readers. The pictures are small framed woodcut scenes from the Gospels set beneath the text of each petition, showing crowds, teaching and kneeling figures in simple period dress, with sparse hatching a designer could borrow for narrative panel layouts.
