D. Joh. Gottlob Krügers Träume

Krüger, Johann Gottlob · 1758 · verlegt von Carl Hermann Hemmerde · 5 pictures

Johann Gottlob Krüger's Träume is a German dream-themed book issued in a second, enlarged edition, published in Halle im Magdeburgischen by Carl Hermann Hemmerde and dated 1758 on its title page. Its pictures are small rococo-style copperplate and woodcut vignettes: a sleeping figure with a winged female figure above, a walled town behind scrolling ornament, and a laurel-wreathed female bust. A designer might take the ornate scrolled cartouches, the mix of engraved and woodcut framing, and the Fraktur title lettering as period references.
