Mein schönes Bilderbuch
Mein schönes Bilderbuch is a German picture book for young children, published around 1890 by an unidentified publisher. Its pages pair labelled, hand-coloured woodcut-style images of everyday objects and animals, such as a guinea fowl, rabbits, a violin, a sailing boat and a field cannon, with German captions. A designer could take from it the simple, flat colour and the compact labelled arrangement typical of nineteenth-century children's alphabet and vocabulary sheets.
