Nützliches ABC- und Lesebuch für fleißige Kinder : mit illuminirten Bildern
An illustrated German primer and reading book for diligent children, published around 1830 and aimed at young readers learning their letters. Its hand-coloured pictures pair small genre scenes, each captioned in German, such as washing day, threshing, supper and cooking. A designer could draw on their naive, flat figure poses and bright period costume for folk-style or historical scenes.
