Aehrenlese auf dem Gebiethe des Nützlichen und Schönen für Knaben und Mädchen
An 1831 German picture book, Aehrenlese auf dem Gebiethe des Nützlichen und Schönen, compiled by Wolfgang Konrad Schultheiss and illustrated by Peter Carl Geissler and published by Zeh for boys and girls. Its hand-coloured plates arrange small genre scenes in four-part grids inside ivy and vine borders, each numbered and captioned in the margin. The scenes show everyday trades, travel, soldiers and village life in simple, clear figures against pale backgrounds, offering a designer a tidy model for modular panel layouts and decorative botanical framing.
