Frohes Spiel, ernstes Ziel : ein lehrreiches Bilderbuch für Kinder
An 1895 German picture book, Frohes Spiel, ernstes Ziel, published by F. Loewe and drawn by Friedrich Erk, Fritz Reiß, Eugen Klimsch and Walter Zweigle as an instructive children's book. Its pages are multi-panel chromolithographs showing trades and daily work, such as weaving, a smithy, a butcher's shop, a kitchen, a potter's wheel and a shoemaker, with small round inset vignettes. A designer could draw on its warm, earthy palette and its habit of pairing a large scene with circular and rectangular insets to structure an illustrated panel layout.
