Der vierbeinige Held von 1866 : ein Bilderbuch für die Jugend
A German picture book for young readers, Der vierbeinige Held, written by Johannes Pawlecki and published in 1866 by Ferd. Marwitz, tells of a goat who becomes a battlefield hero. Its hand-coloured oval vignettes show soldiers, a horse-drawn wagon, a woman and child with a goat, and a cannon on the title page, framed by ornate scrollwork that a designer could borrow for period decorative borders.
