The Kiss, 1808
‘Aphorisms on the Kiss’ published by C. A. Solbrig, Leipzig, 1808.
Very rare “Aphorisms on the Kiss” with ten hearty copperplate illustrations, a Christmas present for kiss-lovers, issued as a book published by C. A. Solbrig, Leipzig, 1808. Fascinating and very original transformations using the heart symbol to create faces in an artistic way.
