This is a book cover for a collection of lesser-known writings by Dr. Johann Baptist von Hirscher, published in 1868 by Herder’sche Verlagshandlung. The book includes biographical notes by Dr. Hermann Walfis, and a photographic portrait of the author. The work is considered an important addition to the corpus of Hirscher's writings, which are often considered influential within the sphere of 19th-century German religious thought. The cover of this book is a prime example of book design in 19th-century Germany.
