Walther's Familie zu Rosenstedt; ein unterhaltendes und lehrreiches Lesebuch für die aufblühende Jugend ; mit 16 colorirten Kupfertafeln
A German children's reader of 1819 by Johann Georg Christian Höpfner, published by C. J. G. Hartmann, written for young readers and illustrated with sixteen hand-coloured copperplates. The pictures are small framed scenes stacked in pairs on each page, showing a family's daily life in indoor rooms, gardens and town streets. A designer might take from them the compact two-tier panel layouts and the flat, pale hand-colour palette typical of early nineteenth-century educational prints.
