A-B-C für artige Kinder in Silhuetten und Reimen

Fröhlich, Karl · 1855 · Vollmann · 36 pictures

An alphabet primer of silhouette plates with German rhyming verses, published in 1855 with the Vollmann imprint and credited to Karl Fröhlich, aimed at well-behaved children. Each letter page pairs cut-paper black silhouettes of rural scenes, animals and figures with two-line rhymes beneath, giving a designer a dense set of figure silhouettes and simple narrative vignettes: gardeners, harvesters, hunters, orchard pickers and deer at a stream, all set on plain paper with ornamental letter corners.
