Sechzig kleine, aber verständliche Geschichten und Erzählungen für Kinder : mit 7 Kupfertafeln
A German children's storybook of sixty short moral tales by Heinrich August Kerndörffer, published in 1820 by Carl August Friese, with seven copperplate engravings. The four pictures show domestic scenes of genteel households: a lady beside a laid table with a boy carrying a garland, a small boy in a waistcoat before dining men, a servant on a ladder with children clinging to a woman, and a girl offering a basket of fruit under a flowering tree. Their clean line work, sepia-toned paper and simple staging suit designers seeking early nineteenth-century costume and domestic vignette references.
