Scheitlin, Peter · 1854 · Verlag von Scheitlin und Zollikofer · 1 picture

Agathe, oder der Führer durch's Leben is a German-language moral and domestic guidebook by Peter Scheitlin, published in 1854 by Verlag von Scheitlin und Zollikofer, likely aimed at young women. The single plate shows a seated woman in a green dress and white collar at the centre of an oval frame, surrounded by a border of flowers and small vignettes of genre scenes, a composition a designer could borrow for ornamental framing with a central portrait medallion and surrounding narrative roundels.
