Some scanned borders and other images from «Im Wechsel Der Tage» [In the change of our days] by Adolf Brennecke, circa 1885. I bought this book at Antikvariát Dlážděná, a bookshop with low prices (or so it seemed to me) and exceptionally helpful staff, conveniently located in Prague. If you happen to be in Prague. Not too far from the railway station.

Quarto, 184pp, many illustrations.

In the change of days. Our seasons of jewelry, art and poetry. A selection from the works of our best patriotic poet. With numerous woodcuts of drawings outstanding artist and photogravures after the originals of FA Kaulbach, C. Niczky, Th. von der Beek and R. Epp.

Full-page border, hillside path through ruined castle

This engraving fills most of a page with a scene of a ruined stone archway with towers on either side leading perhaps to the courtyard of an overgrown medieval castle, perched on the side of a hill. [more...] [$]

Full page border of wild flowers

The wild flowers on this vintage full-page border are growing so verdantly and enthusiastically that they don’t leave much room for the text! [more...] [$]

Chapter-head with cherubs, flowers, vines and birds

This chapter-head was above the start of the first chapter in the book. There’s flowers (marigolds?) both open and closed, leaves, and two naked children (putti or cherubs) each holding a string of flowers, possibly ending in a dead rabbit. There are also roses. [more...] [$]

Thistle Ornament

An ornament, or printers’ flower, in the shape of a thistle, from page 81; see the description for that image for other items from the same page, including the wild flowers border. [more...] [$]

Young Romance

A boy has his arm around the waist of a girl in the countryside, the sun close to the horizon. The picture is in a diamond-shaped frame with twigs in the background, budding to show Spring. [more...] [$]
