[Herr Gotthold]

1840 · 5 pictures

A hand-coloured children's picture book from about 1840, its title given only as Herr Gotthold, with no further publisher or place in the record. Its scenes are domestic interiors with a mother or grandmother and children, drawn in small framed plates on cream paper. A designer could take from them the warm, muted palette of pink, green and blue against plain room settings, and the simple gestures of care and instruction.
