Als Großmutter klein war : ein Bilderbuch aus der Biedermaierzeit
A German picture book from 1906 by Elsie Grace, published by Kühn, offering children a view of life in the Biedermeier period. The four plates show children at a dance, playing in snow, ice skating, and playing with hoops, each with a verse in a decorative border. Designers can take the flat, bright colour blocks, rounded figures and rhyming text panels framed in green foliage borders as a model for period-style children's illustration.
