Adolf Schrödter

Adolf Schrödter (1805-1875) was a German artist known for his detailed black and white illustrations and engravings. He was particularly noted for his use of intricate floral and vine-like frames to surround his subject matter, as seen in his depiction of a man with a cane, surrounded by an ornate border of foliage. This style of illustration was popular during the 19th century, reflecting a romantic sensibility toward nature and its beauty. Schrödter's work often depicted everyday scenes and figures, capturing moments of life with a sense of realism and whimsy.
