Schiefertafel-Lust : In Bildern und Reimen von H[einrich] Kruspe

Kruspe, Heinrich · 1852 · Druck und Verlag v. F. Bartholomäus · 24 pictures

Schiefertafel-Lust is a German picture book of 1852 by Heinrich Kruspe, published by F. Bartholomäus, with rhymed verses and illustrations apparently aimed at children. The pictures are white linework on black grounds, resembling scratchboard or woodcut, with a loose, playful manner showing horses, a hunting scene, a night watchman and a group of children reading. A designer could take the reversed white-on-black contrast, the economical contour lines and the light, naive figure drawing as a model for children's graphics.
