Mit vier colorirten Kupfern : eine Weihnachtsgabe
Mit vier colorirten Kupfern: eine Weihnachtsgabe is a German Christmas gift book of 1837 by Albert Ludwig Grimm, published by Julius Moritz Gebhardt for young readers. Its four hand-coloured copperplate engravings show fairy-tale scenes: a ghostly woman rising in mist above a rider on a black horse, a man with lions beside a fire, a youth with a lute among fiery serpents, and a bearded woodsman with a kneeling girl. A designer could draw on their bold saturated hand colour, dramatic night foliage, and tinted fantasy costume.
