Normann, Friedrich Gustav · 1864 · Chelius · 35 pictures

An 1864 German alphabet primer by Friedrich Gustav Normann, published by Chelius, for young children learning to read. Its pages pair large decorative letter forms in blackletter and roman styles with rhyming verses, short word lists, and small woodcut scenes of hunting, boats, fruit, and farm animals. A designer could draw on its varied letterforms, ornamental frames, and simple engraved vignettes for typographic or illustrative reference.
