Leselehr- und Bilderbuch für Kinder, die bald lesen lernen und sich nützlich unterhalten und belehren wollen ; mit feinen illuminierten Kupfern
A German primer and picture book by A. B. Freund, published in 1841 by Hasselberg, meant for children learning to read and to be taught through amusement. Its pages are small hand-coloured copperplate engravings arranged in stacked vignettes, each showing a single everyday scene, animal, or object with a short caption-like gap beneath. A designer could take the simple, tidy stacking of separate small scenes on a cream page as a model for compact, legible illustrated panels, and the naive colour fills as a restrained palette reference.
