Kleines Taschenbuch zur angenehmen Unterhaltung : Neujahrsgeschenk für die vaterländische Jugend

1802 · [Verlag nicht ermittelbar] · 4 pictures

A small German pocket book of 1802, published without an identified publisher and issued as a New Year's gift for young readers of the fatherland. Its four pictures are small engraved vignettes: a medallion of a seated figure with a stone block, a child in a roundel, a willow-shaded memorial monument with mourners, and an old man seated at a desk by a curtain. The framed tondos and sprig borders suggest a restrained neoclassical vocabulary a designer could adapt for compact, dignified title pages and vignette frames.
