Kinderleben : Bilder und Reime für die kleine Welt
Kinderleben: Bilder und Reime für die kleine Welt is a German picture book of 1870 published by Riese, with illustrations by Carl Zastrow, Adolf Werckmeister, H. Merté and Wilhelm Werthmann for young children. Its hand-coloured scenes of domestic life, play and childhood pair each image with a rhyming German verse set below it in a decorative frame. A designer could draw on the warm palette, the ornamented initial letters and the layout of image above verse for nostalgic children's material.
