Biblisches Engel- u. Kunst Werck : alles das jenige, was in heiliger göttlicher Schrifft Altes und Neuen Testaments von den heiligen Engels Gottes ... zu finden ist ... in zierlichen Kupffern, mit beygefüngten teutschen Erklärungs und Andachs-Reimen vorstellend
Johann Ulrich Krauss engraved and published this folio of biblical angel scenes in Augsburg in 1705, pairing each plate with German explanatory verse for devout Lutheran readers. The engravings stage Old and New Testament episodes as pictures within elaborate architectural frames — columned galleries, garden pavilions, fountains, draped tapestries — giving designers ready-made borders, cartouches, ornamental surrounds and crowds of small figures.
