Bilderbuch zu Lust und Lehre : Dreißig Radirungen, nebst erläuterndem Text

Gerhardt, Paul Wilhelm · 1851 · Verlag des litterarischen Instituts · 31 pictures

Bilderbuch zu Lust und Lehre is a German picture book of thirty etchings with explanatory text, made in 1851 by Paul Wilhelm Gerhardt and published by the Verlag des litterarischen Instituts for children. The pictures are small, cross-hatched etched scenes of domestic life, with children, dogs, cats and simple household interiors, and a designer could take their tidy, narrative vignette framing and fine linear shading as a model for old-fashioned storybook layouts.
