Lübecker Marzipan : ein süßes Bilderbuch für unser kleines Volk
A German picture book of 1873 by F. Schmidt, published by Bolhoevener, aimed at small children and built around short rhymed verses under each coloured lithograph. The pictures show boys at play with whips, hoops, a rocking horse and a spinning top, in village lanes, parlours and riverside gardens. A designer could take from them the warm, naive colour and the crisp, outlined figures typical of 19th-century children's lithography.
