Sittenbüchlein für die Jugend in den Städten
A German children's conduct book printed in 1807 by the Verlag der deutschen Schulanstalt, aimed at young readers in towns. Its single framed copperplate-style engraving shows a leafy outdoor scene with a seated man in a tricorn hat, a bystander, and children lounging on the grass before a village backdrop. A designer could take its tidy framed vignette layout and fine crosshatched line work as a model for period-styled spot illustrations.
