Für brave Kinder : Eine Sammlung von Erzählungen, Märchen, Fabeln und Gedichten für Knaben und Mädchen ; mit zahlreichen Textillustrationen und vielen Vollbildern
A late nineteenth-century German children's anthology, published around 1890 by Loewes Verlag Ferdinand Carl, collecting stories, fairy tales, fables and poems for boys and girls. The pages mix small text illustrations with full-page scenes in fine black-line wood engraving, showing a cluttered interior with a fox-like figure among bedding, a forest gathering with a man lifting a cup, a toddler with a doll and dog, and a garden fence with children and animals. A designer could draw on the dense, narrative crowding of the scenes and the economical hatching used to model light and cloth.
