Das rothe Buch : Unterhaltungen mit der Jugend über verschiedene Gegenstände zur Bildung des Herzens und des Verstandes ; Mit ausgemalten Kupfern von Geisler
Das rothe Buch is an 1814 German children's book of moral and educational conversations, published by Sommer and written by Christian Gottfried Heinrich Geißler, with hand-coloured copperplate engravings by Geisler. Its pictures show everyday scenes of town streets, a family at table, and a gentleman with a boy and horse, drawn in clear outline with soft watercolour washes that suggest a designer's reference for period costume and crowd composition.
