Lieder und Bilder für kindliche Herzen
A German children's picture book of songs and images, compiled by Gustav Emil Burkhardt and published by Thenau in 1854 for young readers. Its woodcut-style engravings show rural German family scenes: a mother nursing or cradling an infant in a field, a toddler guided along a village path, a woman with a child by a cottage fence and a church, and a mother and child walking past gravestones. A designer might take the simple, warm line work and the plain pastoral settings as models for rustic, sentimental storytelling.
