Bildersprache in Erzählungen für Kinder von 8 bis 12 Jahren : mit 6 kolorierten Bildern
A German children's picture book of 1860 by Margarethe Wulff, published by Winckelmann & Söhne, with six hand-coloured plates for children aged eight to twelve. The four plates shown are small vignettes captioned with single German virtue and vice words, such as Furcht, Fleiß, Eitelkeit and Faulheit, each showing a child in a rural garden setting. A designer might take from them the simple, gestural staging of moral characters, with clear poses, pastel watercolour-like hand colouring and stock props like hives, peacocks and donkeys.
