Malerischer Jugendfreund : eine Reihe interessanter Erzählungen und Darstellungen aus dem Leben, zur Lehre und Erheiterung
Malerischer Jugendfreund is a German illustrated storybook for young readers, compiled by Karl Gutmann and published by Huber und Comp. in 1843. Its pictures are black-and-white engravings, some rotated on the page, showing a boy in a tree, a cloaked rider, and a battle scene, which a designer might use for mid-nineteenth-century narrative staging and dramatic diagonal compositions.
