Bilder mit Versen zum Auswendiglernen
A German children's picture book of memorised rhymes, published by Engel in 1890 for young readers learning verses by heart. Its pages pair short printed German poems with small, warmly coloured vignettes of children at school, play, meals, a rocking horse, a dollhouse and feeding sparrows in winter. Designers can take from it a framed, multi-scene layout with rhyme text set beside naturalistic everyday scenes, rendered in muted red, green and ochre tones.
