Altdeutsches Leben in fünfundzwanzig Bildern
Altdeutsches Leben in fünfundzwanzig Bildern is a German picture book by Carl Röhling, published in 1871, presenting scenes of old German daily life for a general reader. Its pages pair framed black-and-white woodcut-style scenes of craftsmen, townsfolk and households with ornate borders, decorative initials and German verse. A designer might take the ornamental frames, illuminated capitals and vine-and-scroll borders as models for period-styled layouts.
