Goldsöhnchen
Goldsöhnchen is a German illustrated primer of 1830, printed by J. F. Fischer for young children learning to read and to know the world. Its pictures are small hand-coloured woodcut-style scenes, each framed with a rhyming German caption and an ornamental letter pair, showing trades, soldiers and characters in simple flat compositions. A designer might take its clear framed panel layout, dense caption typography and naive folk costume detail.
