Auf der Straße : ein Bilderbuch für Kinder
Auf der Straße is a hand-coloured German picture book for children, published by Winckelmann in 1861, showing street traffic of the period. The pictures show carts, carriages and riders on cobbled streets, drawn with plain outlines and flat tints. A designer could take from them the simple, legible staging of vehicles and figures against pale building fronts, a useful model for muted period scenes.
