Historische Erzählungen für die reifere Jugend : mit 2 Abbildungen
A German historical storybook of 1858 by Friedrich Hofmann, published by Ernst Fleischer, written for older children and young readers. The first picture is a sideways engraved landscape of a road with a hill, figures and a distant tower, while the second is a cover-style lithograph of three boys beside a stone monument inscribed with a Napoleon-era dedication. A designer could take the tonal crosshatching of the landscape and the confident figure grouping on the cover as models for period illustration and layout.
