Moralische Erzählungen : ein Unterhaltungsbuch für die reifere Jugend : mit acht schönen Kupfern
Moralische Erzählungen is a German moral-tale anthology for older young readers, published in 1837 by J.J. Christen with eight copperplate-style engravings. The pictures are small black-and-white line engravings in a plain, earnest manner, showing biblical or legendary scenes of soldiers, kneeling figures and burning buildings. A designer might take their tight hatched linework and dramatic crowd groupings as a model for historical narrative illustration.
