Gantz Neue Inventionen von Rauch und Schnupff Tobacks Dosen (3)
Ornament print with five designs for the decoration of various objects. On the left side there is a frieze meant for the decoration of a watch case. The sheet further shows two designs for the decoration of the lids of tobacco boxes; one with a central motif of a cupid on a pedestal and the other showing two variants of a frame surrounding the central motif. Between these two lids are two smaller designs: one for a grip to be attached to a lid with an image of the goddess Diana; the other for a grip of a walking cane.
