Kaspar Hauser : Abenteuer Roland's ; Zwei Erzählungen für die heranwachsende Jugend ; nebst einem Anhange kleinerer Erzählungen ; mit zwei colorirten Bildern
A German juvenile storybook of 1855, printed and published in Düsseldorf by A. Bagel and written by Heinrich Gräfe for adolescent readers, containing two tales and smaller stories with two hand-coloured plates. The first plate shows a uniformed officer confronting a hatted man beside a thatched hut with tropical plants, while the second shows a seated man slumped in a stable among onlookers in military dress, captioned Caspar Hauser. Designers can draw on the flat, bold colour blocking and the dramatic staging of these scenes, and on the ornate gilt-and-green oval cartouche of the cover.
