EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving, titled "Cutter," is an illustration from Friedrich Johann Bertuch's Bilderbuch fur Kinder, or Picture Book for Children, published in Weimar in 1792. The image depicts a young girl, Christiane Henriette Dorothea Westermayr, standing on the deck of a cutter, a type of small sailing vessel commonly used in the navy during the late 18th century. The cutter features a single mast with rigging and sails raised, ready for sailing. The educational encyclopedia from which this illustration is taken was designed to teach children about natural history and various aspects of the world around them. The inclusion of this image in the book served to introduce young readers to the world of sailing and the navy, providing them with a foundational understanding of these topics. The intricate detail and vibrant colors of this handcoloured engraving bring the image to life, allowing the viewer to imagine the girl's sense of adventure and excitement as she stands on the deck of the cutter, perhaps on a journey to explore new lands or learn about different cultures. The illustration also serves as a testament to the high-quality production values of the Picture Book for Children, which was renowned for its beautiful and informative images. Overall, this image of a young girl on a cutter serves as a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the world of sailing and the educational materials available to children during the late 18th century.
