Bildnisse der berühmtesten Menschen aller Völker und Zeiten: ein Supplement-Kupferband zu jedem biographischen Wörterbuche, besonders zu dem Conversations-Lexikon
A supplementary volume of engraved portrait plates published in 1821 in German, meant to accompany biographical dictionaries and the Conversations-Lexikon, held by Heidelberg University Library. The pictures are small bust-length head portraits of famous men, each set in an octagonal or oval frame with fine parallel-line engraving, giving a designer a consistent model for period portrait formats, line-engraved shading, and framed vignettes.
