Bilderfreuden für die lieben Kleinen in artigen Erzählungen und Gedichten
A German children's picture book of short tales and poems, illustrated by Christian Votteler and published in 1880 by Verlag von Enßlin und Laiblin for young readers. Its hand-coloured prints show rural scenes of harvesting, grape picking, a figure among flowers, and a man with a pole driving birds from a field, with cherubs and a child in the foreground. A designer could draw on the soft watercolour-like tints, the storybook staging of figures in countryside settings, and the decorative borders of flowers and birds.
