Die Soldaten : ein Bilderbuch mit Text
A German picture book of rhyming verse for children, published in 1840 by Winckelmann, with hand-coloured plates of soldiers under a titled caption and four lines of verse beneath each image. The pictures show uniformed figures in simple outdoor settings with a small amount of landscape, giving a designer a clear record of early nineteenth-century Prussian-style military dress and posture rendered in flat, bright colour.
