Das Sprichwort im Kinderleben
A late nineteenth-century German picture book of chromolithographed scenes illustrating proverbs (Sprichwörter) through children's everyday life, with a rhyming German verse above or below each scene, publisher not identified. The panels show children at school, at table, at play and at chores, with a moralising intent that suits designers looking for period domestic genre imagery in bright printed colour.
