Der Jahrmarkt : Sehenswürdigkeiten und Scenen in bunter Reihe ; ein Bilderbuch mit Text
Der Jahrmarkt is an 1843 German picture book published by Schreiber, with text by Karl Thienemann and Friedrich Schlotterbek and engravings by Friedrich Bernhard Elias, made for children. Its hand-coloured plates show a fairground crowd of showmen, performers and spectators in a bustling market town. A designer could draw on the dense, tiered crowd compositions and the small framed vignettes of individual attractions arranged around each central scene.
