Oekonomisches Bilderbuch oder historisch-bildliche Darstellung der Landwirthschaft in allen ihren Theilen
An 1802 German agricultural picture book, the Oekonomisches Bilderbuch by Johann Gottlieb Fritzsche, published by Heinrich Gerlach, meant to show farming in all its parts to rural readers. The hand-coloured plates appear rotated on the page, showing fields, harvest work, horses and labourers in soft watercolour tints, useful for designers seeking pastoral scenes of early nineteenth-century rural labour and landscape structure.
