Bilder für's artige Kind
A German picture book of 1890 titled Bilder für's artige Kind, published by Gebert & Veigel for young children, showing everyday play and childhood scenes. The pictures are small, colour-printed vignettes arranged in grids on cream paper, with children sledding, playing with toys, tossing balls and rocking on a horse, a designer could take from them a clear template for arranging multiple small scenes on one page with soft, muted period colour.
