Disteli m artin (2 risultati)

First edition. Undated but 1829. Soft cover with engraved titles and decoration. A little soiled and marked, but still presentable. Very small closed tear to the head of the front cover. Inside are and engraved title and nine copper plates by Martin Disteli. Inspired by Grandville's anthropomorphic illustrations, these plates were an album to accompany A. E. Fröhlich's fables, also published in 1829. The plates show animals in human clothes in social situations: The theatre; education; monasticism and the church; justice; parliamentarism; the military; music, and the visual arts. There is no text with this album. The plates themselves are in very good, clean example. An attractive example of early German caricature. (10) pages. 20cm x 25.5cm.
