Erste Berlinische Bilderschule für Knaben und Mädchen von 2 bis 4 Jahren
An 1814 Berlin picture primer for children aged two to four, compiled by Theodor Heinsius with plates after Johann Heinrich Ramberg and Heinrich Schmidt, published by J. G. Hasselberg. The hand-coloured plates show everyday domestic and outdoor scenes with a short German rhyme printed beneath each, so a designer can take their simple staging, figure groupings and flat colour washes as a model for early-childhood illustration.
