Historische Bilder III
A hand-coloured German lithograph book from 1860 titled Historische Bilder III, presenting Greek myth heroes such as Herakles, Jason, Oedipus and Aegeus, likely for young readers. The four plates show hand-tinted figures in simple landscape settings with flat washes of colour and soft outlines, so a designer could borrow their earthy palette, warm paper tone and naive narrative staging.
