Bilderbuch für Kinder
Bilderbuch für Kinder is a German picture book for children, illustrated by Christian Friedrich August Kolb and published by Thienemann in 1858. The hand-coloured lithographs show rural village scenes of families, children and animals set beside thatched cottages and woodland. A designer could take from them the warm, simple storytelling of mid-nineteenth-century children's book art, with clear figure groupings and soft tinted washes.
