Malerische Zusammenstellung
A German picture book of 1860 titled Malerische Zusammenstellung, published by an unidentified house and classed as a Spielbilderbuch, a toy or play picture book for children. Its scenes are of a rocky river valley with a towering mountain, a hilltop castle, boats on the water, and figures on the shore, shown first as colour plates and then as line engravings on tan paper. A designer might take from them the layered compositions of cliffs, water and distant peaks, and the way a single castle anchors a landscape.
