Briefe für Knaben von einer kleinen Sittenakademie

Zimmermann, Joseph Ignaz · 1772 · Scherer · 15 pictures

A German children's book of letters titled Briefe für Knaben von einer kleinen Sittenakademie, written by Joseph Ignaz Zimmermann and published by Scherer in 1772, meant to teach boys manners through letters. The small woodcut vignettes show a squirrel-like animal with a bushy tail curled around a round seal or shield, and a small bird perched among leaves, drawn in crude, lively line that suits quaint, folkloric motifs for editorial or heritage-style decoration.
