Waldleben : [Prosa u. Dichtung]
Waldleben is an 1856 German-language anthology of prose and verse, published by J. Tschudi and written by August Corrodi, a Swiss author, with the title lettering set into the illustration itself. Its single picture is a dense wood engraving of a forest stream and rocks framed by oak leaves, with the title written across the upper trees. A designer might take its tangled, cross-hatched foliage and the way the lettering sits inside the leafy border as a model for nature-themed title pages.
