Biblisches Engel- u. Kunst Werck : alles das jenige, was in Heiliger Göttlicher Schrifft Altes und Neuen Testaments von den heiligen Engeln Gottes ... zu finden ist ... : mit Fleiss zusammen getragen, in Kupffer gestochen und verlegt
A 1705 German engraved book of biblical angels, published in Augsburg by Johann Ulrich Krauss, gathering scenes from the Old and New Testaments for a devotional and artistic audience. The pictures are black-and-white engravings where angels frame oval and octagonal scenes inside dense scrolled cartouches of acanthus leaves, shells and putti, a ready model for ornamental frames, border systems and baroque decorative layouts.
