Neuer Lustgarten : die Freistunden fröhlicher Mädchen in Bildern
Neuer Lustgarten is a German picture book of 1852 published by Goedsche and drawn by Franz Wiedemann, offering hand-coloured scenes with verses for young girls' leisure hours. The four plates show girls at children's games, chatting on a garden bench and gathering roses in a park, with the verses set in two columns below each image. A designer might take from them the mid-nineteenth-century German costume, bonnets, full skirts and aprons, and the framed, lightly coloured lithograph layout with decorative vine borders.
