Blüthen : kleine Erzählungen für freundliche Kinder von 6-10 Jahren ; mit 9 illuminirten Bildern
Blüthen is a German children's storybook of short tales for friendly children aged six to ten, written by Margarethe Wulff and published by Winckelmann in 1842, with nine hand-coloured lithographs. The pictures are soft, naive scenes of rural and domestic life: a grandmother with a walking stick greeting children, a girl in a red skirt meeting a woman in yellow, children gathering in a garden, and a mother fastening a necklace on a small girl beside a toy cart. A designer might take their muted pastel palette and simple, gentle staging for vintage children's illustration.
