Herz Des Menschen (The Heart of Man), Heavily Worn 1848 Pennsylvania German Devotional with Amazing Engravings and Many Mends rocket and to my eye aI discovered the existence of Herz Des Menschen (The Heart of Man) a few months ago and its engravings completely blew me away. Now another copy, this one 1848, with the added character of a series of cellophane tape mends, long sense yellowed. I personally love the effect, heightening the drama of its contents all the more. Photos give a good sense, showing all of the engravings, through not all pages of text. By Johannes Gossner (17731858). Printed
