Csataképek a magyar szabadságharczból ... Kimnach László rajzai után készült fametszetekkel. Hatodik illusztrált díszkiadás

Jókai, Mór · 1899 · 69 pictures

Jókai Mór's collection of short stories about the 1848–49 Hungarian War of Independence, issued in Budapest in 1899 as a sixth illustrated edition with wood engravings after drawings by László Kimnach, for a general Hungarian reading public. The plates are dark-toned narrative vignettes, many vignetted into ovals or irregular clouds of shading: sabre-waving hussars, lancers crowding a bedside, a body flung from a window, peasants in white shirts and wide trousers, useful for crowd silhouettes, raised-weapon gestures, and soft-edged illustration framing.
