Vaterländische Immortellen aus dem Gebiete der österreichischen Geschichte der alten, mittleren, neuern und neuesten Zeit gesammelt und mit einer ... Bilderschau der merkwürdigsten Handlungen ausgezeichneter Personen ... ausgestattet
Anton Ziegler's German-language survey of Austrian history from antiquity to his own day, published in Vienna in 1840 for patriotic general readers, with a plate series illustrating notable deeds of famous persons. The numbered lithographs, each set in a ruled frame with a caption line, stage crowded costume scenes — an investiture under Romanesque arches, a preacher in a Gothic pulpit before a seated ruler, armoured riders greeting kneeling petitioners — useful for medieval armour, banners, heraldic surcoats and grouped gesturing figures.
