Ainer von unsere Lait / Ain Andrer von unsere Lait, two lithographs after drawings by Hieronymus Hess. Basel, [ca. 1842]. German.
Two hand-colored lithographs after drawings by the Swiss artist Hieronymus Hess (1799-1850). The lithographs depict, each one, an encounter between two figures, among them Jewish figures, with passages of text printed below (dialogue between the figures).
A photograph of one of these lithographs appears in the essay "Die Bekehrung der Juden in Rom von Hieronymus Hess", by Peter Dittmar, which concerns conversion of Jews in Rome, as expressed in works by Hieronymus Hess (see enclosed material).
[2] leaves, 28X34 cm. Good condition. Stains.
