A delightful suite of plates intended to teach children painting by copying hand-coloured exemplars.

The volume comprises four pairs of lithographs, each with a professionally hand-coloured view facing a copy coloured – somewhat more crudely – by an early owner. The views, no doubt chosen to appeal to young painters, show castles from around the German Sprachraum: the Osthofentor in Soest, Westphalia; Franzensburg in Laxenburg, Lower Austria; the ruined Drachenfels Castle in the Wasgau; and Brunnenburg in South Tyrol. Loosely inserted are eight smaller views, seemingly coloured by the same juvenile hand.

OCLC finds a single copy, at the Goethe-Universität in Frankfurt; not on Library Hub.
