Der treue Knecht oder wahre und falsche Freunde : Eine erzgebirgische Dorfgeschichte für die reifere Jugend ; mit 6 Abbildungen
An 1851 German children's book by Franz Wiedemann, published by Adler und Dietze, telling a village tale from the Erzgebirge mountains for older young readers, illustrated with six hand-coloured lithographs. The scenes are rotated on the page, with figures in period dress set in rural outdoor and interior settings. A designer might take their lively costume detail, loose hand-coloured washes and rustic village staging as a model for historical storytelling.
