Bilder aus der Jugendwelt, zur Belebung des sittlichen Gefühls
A German children's book published in Berlin in 1829 by C. F. Amelang, a translation by Rudolph and Luise Engel of Maria Edgeworth's English moral tales, edited by Ernst Hold for young readers. The hand-coloured plates are framed in decorative borders with small scenes of domestic life, a classical street scene, and a rural landscape. A designer might take from them the tidy oval-and-octagon frames, pastel palettes, and the flowing botanical border ornaments.
