About the Item

Romantic Narrative Engravings, Literary Scenes, German Taschenbuch 1814 This early 19th-century engraved sheet was published in the 1814 edition of the German literary Taschenbuch Minerva. It presents multiple literary scenes arranged in narrative sequence, reflecting the Romantic interest in storytelling, character, and emotional drama. The engravings are composed with careful attention to movement, costume, and theatrical setting, allowing each vignette to function individually while contributing to the overall narrative flow. Such sheets were intended to be viewed as complete compositions and formed an important visual component of German literary culture at the time. The survival of the sheet in complete form preserves the original reading experience intended by its publishers. Condition Report: Period-mounted engravings on paper. Mount unevenly cut with light age toning and surface wear. The engraved imagery remains clear and visually appealing. Framing Tips: A single-sheet presentation is recommended. Neutral matting will soften the mount while keeping focus on the engravings. Technique: Copper engraving Maker: Anonymous engraver, Germany, published 1813
