Abenteuer des berühmten Freiherrn von Münchhausen : mit 16 radirten Blättern von M[artin] Disteli

Bürger, Gottfried August, Disteli, Martin · 1841 · Verlag von Jent & Gassmann · 6 pictures

A German edition of Gottfried August Bürger's Münchhausen tall tales, published in 1841 by Jent & Gassmann, with sixteen etched plates by the Swiss artist Martin Disteli. The four pictures show comic episodes in sketchy line work: a rider on a rearing horse before a castle gate, a carriage flying through smoke, a figure hoisted on a church steeple, and galloping horses fording a stream. A designer could take the loose, hatched pen line and the exaggerated action for caricature or humorous adventure layouts.
