Die Jahreszeiten : Bilderbuch zur belehrenden Unterhaltung für die Jugend
A German picture book of the seasons, published in 1838 by Schreiber, offered to young readers as instructive entertainment on rural life through the year. Its hand-coloured plates show farm work across the seasons: threshing and harvesting in summer, ploughing and sowing in spring, hay carting and raking in winter, with costumed villagers, oxen, and wooden carts set in mountain and valley landscapes that a designer could draw on for rustic, seasonal scenes.
