Louise Thalheim : eine Bildungsgeschichte für gute Töchter ; mit 11 Kupfern
A German children's storybook from 1808, published by Georg Voß and written by Christian Wilhelm Spieker, aimed at good girls as a moral education tale with eleven copperplate engravings. The hand-coloured scenes show domestic and genteel life: girls at play in a garden, washing dishes under a tree beside a distant town, feeding poultry near round towers, and a family taking tea outdoors. A designer could draw on their soft pastel palette, Biedermeier-era costume, and the calm pastoral settings.
