Bübchen und Mädchen : schönstes Bilderbuch mit artigen Geschichten für die zarte Jugend ; mit acht colorirten Lithographien in Tondruck
A hand-coloured German picture book for small children, published by Lotzbeck around 1800 with eight tinted lithographs and rhyming captions beneath each scene. The pictures show boys and girls at play with a dog, a cat, a squirrel and a father, in simple garden and household settings, drawn with loose outlines and soft washes of pink, green and blue. A designer could take the flat, warm palette and the compact vignette framing with rounded corners for period-style children's illustration.
