Bilderbuch für kleine und große Kinder
A German illustrated picture book published in 1855 by Reclam in Commission, aimed at small and large children alike. Its wood-engraved pages show travel and exotic scenes, with rocky gorges, a stone bridge over a ravine, and robed figures in a canyon. The pages are dense with figures and landscape detail, offering a designer examples of nineteenth-century engraved composition, with strong black-and-white contrast and crowded group arrangements.
