Jucunde : Liebliche Erzählungen für Kinder von 6 bis 10 Jahren : mit feinen, colorirten Kupfern
A children's storybook published in 1857 by Verlag von Jul. Bagel & Comp., written by Friedrich Philipp Wilmsen for readers aged six to ten, with hand-coloured copperplate engravings. The pictures are small framed vignettes set on cream paper with decorative borders of foliage, birds, cherubs and animals, showing hunting, a runaway horse and cart, a fallen ox in snow, and a sleigh ride on a frozen lake. A designer could take the tinted, folk-like scenes and their ornamental frames as models for vintage nursery or seasonal decoration.
