Das stumme Kind, oder: Gottes unvergänglicher Geist ist in Allem : eine Erzählung
An 1849 German children's story, Das stumme Kind, written by Thekla von Gumpert and issued by Ferdinand Hirt's publishing house in Breslau for children and school and village libraries. The pictures include a red library stamp that is not part of the book, a title page with a willow and girls in a garden, and a hand-coloured plate of children gathered in a woodland clearing around a seated woman and a boy with a white dog. A designer might take the soft, layered woodland colour and the rustic costume detail from the coloured plate.
