ABC-Buch
An ABC-Buch, a German alphabet primer published around 1880 by an unidentified publisher, for young children learning letters. Each page pairs a large gothic letter with a German rhyme and objects whose names begin with that sound, such as Dach, Eichel, Fass and Harfe-style picture cards. The pictures are hand-coloured lithographs with flat, bright fills and simple outlines, a useful model for designers planning early-learning or folk-style alphabet layouts.
