About this work

This is a simple printed title page with black text on a light brown background. The words are arranged in a circle, with fancy swirls around the edges. The text reads *"Nachtstücke"* at the top and names *"C. Lebschée"* as the artist below. The small print says this was published by a Munich art shop in 1828. The word *"Landschafts-Maler"* means "landscape painter" in German. Next, look up etching to see how this printmaking technique works.
