Unterhaltungsbuch für Kinder in Bildern aus dem Leben
An illustrated children's entertainment book in German, produced by Wilhelm Rudolf Hoffmann and published by Nitzschke in 1860 for young readers. Each hand-coloured plate pairs a scene from everyday village life with a rhyming verse printed beneath it, so the pictures tell small moral stories. A designer could take from them the simple, rounded figure drawing, bright flat colour, and clear narrative staging typical of mid-century German picture books.
