Wackere Frauen : eine Reichsstadtgeschichte ; mit 2 Abbildungen
Wackere Frauen is a German local history of the imperial free city of Ulm, written by Richard Weitbrecht and published by Carl Flemming in 1899 for a general reading public. Its two plates are black-and-white reproductions of old views: the first shows the Ulm Minster with a crowd in the square beneath a cluster of cherubs and clouds, after a copper engraving by Jonas Arnold dated 1666, and the second, printed sideways, shows a siege scene from 1704 with a riverside town, walls, towers and many small figures. A designer could take from them the dense crowd staging, the Gothic spire silhouette, and the busy panoramic layering of tiny figures across a townscape.
