Wischewasche-Plaudertasche : ein Bilderbuch für artige Kinder

Thalheim, Louise · 1859 · Verlag von Eduard Trewendt · 17 pictures

A German picture book for well-behaved children, written and illustrated by Louise Thalheim and published by Eduard Trewendt in 1859, built around a cumulative folk rhyme. The hand-coloured pages pair small vignettes with verses in black type, showing a butcher, a fox-and-hare chase, a hunter, and a spinning-and-knitting household. A designer could take the simple, staged scenes and the flat, naive colour blocks as a model for narrative sequence in storybook layouts.
