Volks- und Jugendschriften
Volks- und Jugendschriften is a German popular and juvenile literature volume published in 1839 by the Antiquariats-Buchhandlung zur Ilge, with a book-issue of cheap instructive stories for common readers and young people. The pictures are small engraved and drawn scenes of domestic interiors: a hat-wearing man with children at a door, older men with canes in a tiled parlour, and an elderly woman being attended in a wood-panelled room, with a decorative cornucopia title panel. A designer could draw on their plain period interior staging, clustered figures and restrained ornamental frame.
