Aus Goethe's Studentenzeit oder das Vermächtnis des alten Magisters : eine Erzählung für meine jungen Freunde ; mit 4 Bildern
An 1895 German youth novella by Oskar Höcker, published by Verlag von Schmidt & Spring, telling a story of Goethe's student days for young readers. Its four plates are black-and-white halftone-style engravings of 18th-century interiors, with figures in frock coats, breeches and powdered wigs. A designer might take from them the period costume, panelled rooms and formal gestures of a Germanic late-Enlightenment setting.
