Bilder und Reime : Reime und Bilder für Kinder
Bilder und Reime is a German picture book of 1859 published by Naumann, with verses by Wilhelm Hey and illustrations credited to Ludwig Richter, Albert Zeh and August Gaber, made for children. Its pages pair a small wood-engraved scene with a German rhyme beneath it, and the pictures show children at play, harvesting fruit, rescuing a dog from water and working in a garden. A designer could draw on their clear, storybook staging, their tidy rural settings and the way each image carries a simple moral narrative in few lines.
