Gott schütze Dich! : eine Mitgabe fürs Leben aus den Schätzen christlicher Dichtkunst ; mit 4 Illustrationen in Lichtdruck
A German devotional gift book of Christian poetry, compiled by Andreas Heintzeler and published by Greiner & Pfeiffer in 1895 as a keepsake for readers' lives. Its four plates are photomechanical reproductions of drawings on sacred subjects, with German captions printed beneath each picture. A designer could take from them the restrained, pale-toned sacred illustration style of late nineteenth-century German religious print, with figures set against soft landscapes and framed by simple light and shadow.
