Bilder aus dem Kinderleben
Bilder aus dem Kinderleben is a German children's picture book of 1865 published by Fr. Wilh. Grunow, with verses by Rudolf Reichenau and illustrations by Oscar Pletsch and Hugo Bürkner for a young readership. Its wood engravings show domestic scenes of nursery and household life, with children in interiors and yards. A designer could take from them the naturalistic, storytelling clarity of mid-nineteenth-century German domestic illustration, with its tiled stove, cluttered interiors and crisp hatched shading.
